To enable user interface tracing, modify the Web.config file found in the web\WebUI\WebRoot\ subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME%. Note that switching on UI tracing can harm performance, and should be avoided in a production environment. You should also disable tracing as soon as you have identified the source of the problem you are investigating.
Procedure
- On your Content Manager server machine, navigate to the web\WebUI\WebRoot\ subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME%.
- Open the file Web.config in this location for editing.
- Within the
configuration section, add the following:
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Verbose.ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<clear />
<add name="FileTracer" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="Tridion.Web.UI.ContentManager.WebService_messages.log" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<switches>
<add name="ShowErrors" value="1" />
</switches>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="Tridion.Web.trace" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
- Save and close Web.config.
- Restart IIS.
