BCAM trace

The function logs all connection-oriented activities within the proxy container.

By default, the BCAM trace is deactivated. To activate the BCAM trace of the proxy container in the Management Console:

1. Select the following nodes in the navigation tree of the proxy:
   Advanced Features - Diagnosis - Configuration - General Diagnostic Info.

   The General tab of the General Diagnostic Info Configuration panel is displayed.

2. Select the option Activate BCAM Trace.

If the proxy container is running, the change comes into effect dynamically when saving the proxy. If the proxy is not running, the change comes to effect when the proxy is next started.

The traces are written in a binary format to KDCBTRC.* files in the proxy container home directory. You can evaluate and display the trace information:

• In the Management Console choose the nodes Advanced Features - Diagnosis - Output - General Diagnostic Info and select the item Container BCAM Traces. Then click the Show File button.

  The Management Console transfers the converted text file btrc.txt to the local diagnostic path of the proxy
  (default: diag/<proxy_cont_name> in the Management Console home directory). The Management Console displays the file in a Text File panel.

• On Solaris and Linux systems, change to the proxy container home directory and call the script as follows:

  shsc/nettrace.sh

  The traces produced are then written to the btrc.txt file in the proxy container home directory and displayed in the system's default editor.

• On Windows systems, change to the proxy container home directory and call the script as follows:

  shsc\nettrace.cmd

  The traces produced are then written to the btrc.txt file in the proxy container home directory and displayed in the system's default editor.

For further diagnosis, you have to send the evaluated trace to the diagnostic system service.
