The internet communication server writes traces to log detailed error information either to the standard output or to a configured file. The level of details written can be configured.
The traces can help to analyse error situations.
The trace writer can be configured via following ICS command line options:
The trace level specifies how many information is written to the trace file. Increasing the level slows down the server therefore as default only info and error information is written. However in certain cases it might be required to increase the trace level to reproduce an error situation obtaining information for further analyses.
The traces are written to the standard output if no trace file is specified via the [-|/]trc option. If a trace file is specified it will be created or if already exists opened with the umask that applies to the directory.
