XA Switch Module Diagnostics

The SQL Server, DB2, Oracle, and ODBC switch modules have been coded to use the Consolidated Trace Facility to aid in debugging any errors returned during operation. We have provided a configuration file, ctf.cfg, by default located in the $COBDIR/src/enterpriseserver/xa directory, to serve as a starting point. To enable this facility:

1. Edit the ctf.cfg file using any text editor and change the location parameter on line 6 to the directory where you want to store your trace files.
2. Create a new system environment variable named MFTRACE_CONFIG, and set its value to the full path where ctf.cfg is located.
3. Reboot your system to register MFTRACE_CONFIG.
4. Start Enterprise Server.

Once enabled, the Consolidated Trace Facility writes SQLCODE, SQLSTATE and any associated SQL error messages to a trace file named cassi.textfile.processid.log, located in the directory you specified. Processid is the process ID under which the Enterprise Server SEP was running when the logfile was created.
