Feature #293 (https://sourceforge.net/p/staf/feature-requests/293/) added the ability to configure STAF to set the destination for trace information to both a file as well as to stdout or stderr so that you could see trace output in the STAFProc output as tracing occurs and also store the trace output in a file to review later.
You can set the trace output destination to a file and stdout or stderr via a TRACE SET DESTINATION statement in the STAF.cfg file. This is talked about in section "4.11 Tracing" in the STAF User's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRTRACECFG. For example:
TRACE SET DESTINATION TO STDOUT FILE /tmp/STAFTrace.out
And/or you can set the trace output destination via the TRACE service's SET DESTINATION request. This is talked about in section "8.19 Trace Service", sub-section "8.19.7 Set", in the STAF User's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRTRACESRV. For example:
STAF local TRACE SET DESTINATION TO STDOUT FILE /tmp/STAFTrace.out
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I saw that there is a new feature of tracing files #293 (released on 3.4.16).
Can I get some explanation what it does and how to use it ?
thanks,
Eitan
