Tracing Global Properties
The Tracing Global Properties tab has several items that can be modified to adjust how Trace runs. These items include:
Trace File Flip Length
The default size is 20,000,000 bytes.
You can change the maximum length by highlighting the number and typing a new value.
Tracing Global Properties tab to set the length of the trace file
In the Trace Settings dialog box, click the Tracing Global Properties tab.
Enter a value for the Trace File Flip Length box, and then click OK.
Allow HIS Administrators to perform tracing
Access to the HIS traces directory is controlled by security group. By default, Local Administrators have full control over the HIS traces folder. Also, by default, HIS Runtime Users have read/write access.
Select the Allow HIS Administrators to perform tracing option, to provide Full Control over the HIS traces folder to members of the HIS Administrators group.
Stop tracing by event
SNA Trace can monitor the Windows Event log and stop tracing when a configured event occurs. To enable this feature, click Monitor event log and enter an Event ID.
Write Traces on a Background Thread
Check this box to run tracing in the background. If the box is cleared (blank), tracing runs in the foreground.
To reduce performance impacts caused by tracing Host Integration Server 2006 components, traces can be queued and written by a background thread when this box is checked. Otherwise, trace files will be written immediately.
Background Thread Priority
If you select Write Traces on a Background Thread, check only one item to set the level of priority for tracing to run within the Microsoft Windows operating system. Highest gives tracing the highest level of priority, which means that tracing takes precedence over other jobs. Idle means that tracing runs when the CPU is idle.
