String (directory-name)
logs
Purpose
When the TraceAppServer parameter in the [JadeThinClient] section is set to true, the TraceDirectory parameter specifies the directory used for the generated presentation client trace files on the application server.
A separate trace file, output to the JADE logs directory by default, is opened for each application that is initiated. The trace file has the following format.
ThinClientTrace‑<user‑name>‑<date>‑<time>.log
The content of the trace file includes the form name for any control and the name of the schema and application being initiated.
Parameter is read when …
The application server node is next initialized; for example, when you restart the application server.
Hint
Although a generated trace file on the application server contains the same information as that of a presentation client trace file, the entries in the trace file on the application server provide actual time gap information between each GUI logic statement that is called. You can therefore use them as an indication as to where performance issues might be.
Comparing the file with a presentation client trace file also provides information about network performance issues.
