TracingLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Using tracing assumes that the problem is noticed elsewhere - for example, via a log message or non-functioning components or applications. That is why tracing is always an exceptional procedure.

Recommendation

Traces are switched off during normal operation. Therefore, we recommend that you set the default severity for locations to ERROR. This ensures that stack traces of exceptions are visible even in normal operation mode.

If it is necessary to permanently turn on traces to establish a problem in the working system, those trace messages are better to be log messages.
