Using client trace facilities

Client trace facilities are used primarily for debugging tools.

  1. To use IMATraceLevel on the command line include this in the Java™ command options:
    -DIMATraceLevel=level
    where level can be 0 through 9.
  2. To use both IMATraceLevel and IMATraceFile on the command line, include these Java command options:
    -DIMATraceLevel=level -DIMATraceFile=file
    where file can be:
    • stderr
    • stdout
    • path_to_file
  3. To use these values programmatically, use the following:
    System.setProperty("IMATraceLevel", "level");
    System.setProperty("IMATraceFile", "file");
    Important: If you specify IMATraceLevel with a value greater than 0 and do not specify IMATraceFile, the output automatically goes to stderr.
