A WebSphere Business Integration connector consists of two components: a connector agent that runs in its own JVMTM and communicates with the target application, and a connector controller that runs in the same virtual machine as the WebSphere Business Integration Server. Each component can be traced individually. To set the connector controller trace level, modify the ControllerTraceLevel in the connector properties through the WebSphere Business Integration Server Component Manager. The ControllerTraceLevel change should be applied immediately. The agent trace level is configured in the same manner by modifying the AgentTraceLevel property. By default, the connector agent traces to standard output, which will not be captured if the connector agent is configured to run in the background as a windows service. Even when the connector agent is running in the foreground, trace information is likely to be lost (by scrolling out off the command window) when running at higher trace levels. The LogFileName and TraceFileName properties accessed through the Connector Configurator do not work to control the location of the log or trace files. To trace a connector agent to a file, you must use a connector agent configuration file as follows: 1. In the root directory for the connector (under
