In every task trace information can be written into a user log file irrelevant of which log level is set.

15  | Socket interface  | 
31  | Important functions  | 
The trace file of the admin task is given the name TRC.SESDBA.<port>.ADM.<tsn>.<n>, where <port> is the port number for SESAM/SQL requests, <tsn> is the TSN of the task and <n> equals 1 up to 5. The files with the suffixes 1 up to 5 are created and overwritten in wraparound mode.
Main task trace
A trace for the main task can be activated with the MainTask key in the [Trace] section of the initialization file (see section "Initialization file (start parameters)").

Server task trace
A trace for the server tasks can be activated with the ServerTask key in the [Trace] section of the initialization file (see section "Initialization file (start parameters)").
