Trace Files and Log Files

Use

When you use ICF for communications, security-relevant data can be recorded in trace files. You must handle access to these trace files as restrictively as possible.

In transaction SICF ( Edit  Traces), you can activate, deactivate, and display traces for individual services.

The following trace files can contain security-relevant data:

Work Process Traces

• dev_w<n>

ICM Trace

• dev_icm<n>

Message Server Trace

• dev_ms

Web Dispatcher Trace

• dev_wdisp

More Information

As an administrator, you can block other users'access to ICF traces:

• Locking/Unlocking Access to ICF Trace Functions

For more information about using ICF traces, see the ICF documentation under the following:
