trace buffer size

Enables buffered tracing and sets the number of trace entries to buffer.
Restriction: These options apply only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

There are three buffering modes. If the trace on error configuration option is enabled, circular buffering is used: MFCS will store the most recent n entries, where n is the number specified with this option (or a default; see trace on error). Otherwise, if this option is specified with a value greater than zero, MFCS will buffer the specified number of trace entries and write them to the log or trace file when the buffer fills or when the region is shutting down. If neither option is specified, MFCS will not buffer trace entries, but instead write them immediately to the log or trace file.

Syntax:

trace buffer size=<number-of-entries>

Parameters:

<number-of-entries>
A number (at least 1) of trace entries to buffer before writing them to the MFCS log or the trace file. This reduces overhead on a busy system.

Properties:

Default: 0 (50 if trace on error is enabled)
