Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference Configuration Settings
11.2.2.3 Configure Tracing
The MDC makes use of a trace file to record information about events that occur on the
system, for use in troubleshooting. This could include generic information, changing
conditions, or problems and errors that have been encountered.
The level of tracing that the MDC employs depends on its configuration settings.
Caution
Enabling Full Tracing should only be done for troubleshooting purposes. There
are no limits set on the size of the tracing file, so if the option is left on too
long on a high-load system the file may dramatically slow down or crash
Windows, due to excessive I/O or filling up the hard drive. This is not highly
likely for MDC, but should be considered.
Because there are no size limitations set on the trace file, it is not recommended that you have
tracing permanently enabled. If your system is set up with Basic Tracing always enabled,
ensure that the file size does not cause problems by deleting or archiving it whenever it gets
too large.
Basic tracing includes:
Critical error/warning messages [CRITC]
Major error/warning messages [MAJOR]
Minor error/warning messages [MINOR]
Configuration messages [CONFG]
Full tracing includes:
Critical error/warning messages [CRITC]
Major error/warning messages [MAJOR]
Minor error/warning messages [MINOR]
Configuration messages [CONFG]
Informational messages [INFOR]
Data tracing messages [DATA]
Debugging messages (useful for support purposes) [DEBUG]
Security messages, messages that may contain security sensitive data [SECUR]
Turn Tracing On or Off
1. Select a Tracing option.
2. If you have selected Basic Tracing or Full Tracing, enter a path and filename for the
tracing file into the File Name field.
The file path entered must be the full absolute path.
