    Installed on the WebSphere Application Server:
    JazzSM_profile_dir/config/cells/JazzSMNode01Cell/n
    odes/JazzSMNode01/servers/server1/server.xml
    where, the default value of JazzSM_profile_dir is:
    On Windows operating systems
    C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzSM\profile
    On UNIX operating systems
    /opt/IBM/JazzSM/profile
  2. Change the value assigned to the property startupTraceSpecification from:

    com.ibm.tws.webui.*=info

    to:

    com.ibm.tws.webui.*=all.

  3. Save the changes
  4. Stop and start the server.
When you enable tracing at run time the traces are stored in the following file:
Installed on the WebSphere Application Server:
<JazzSM_profile_dir>/logs/twaserver<n>/trace.log, (where <n> is null, 1, 2, and so on)
