Diagnosing a Message Broker

To assist with diagnosing problems, the Message Broker can generate logging information. To enable diagnostic tracing for the Message Broker, add the following lines to the STMessageBroker68.ini file:

setopt trace_file c:\temp\mbtrace.txt

setopt trace_flags timestamp

After adding these lines and saving the file, restart the Message Broker to begin generation of the diagnostic messages. The messages are written to the trace file, prefixed with time stamp information.

Note: There may be some delay between the time a trace message is generated and when it is written to the log file. Consequently, the most recent trace messages may not appear until the Message Broker is stopped, allowing the file to be closed.
