Procedure

You can activate the trace function for the gateway and for external programs.

Gateway

You have the following options using the menu option   Goto   Trace   Gateway  :

  • Display File / Reset File

    You can display or reset the gateway trace file (gateway reader, default name of trace file: dev_rd).

    Every time the gateway is restarted, the old trace file is stored under the name <name>.old (therefore, usually dev_rd.old). The dev_rd file is overwritten.

  • Save as Local File

    You can download the trace file onto your local computer.

  • Increase Level / Decrease Level

    You can increase or decrease the trace level.

    For more information, see: rdisp/TRACE

  • Use trace logging to locate sporadic or tricky errors.

    For more information, see: Trace Logging

External Programs

You can activate and deactivate tracing for communication with external programs by choosing   Goto   Trace   Activate External Programs   or Deactivate.
