Diagnostics Configuration Editor layout
The Diagnostics Configuration Editor has the following tabs:
• Trace
• Advanced
• Errors
1RWHÃAny changes you make to settings in the Diagnostics Configuration Editor
only apply to MicroStrategy products installed on the machine on which you are
working. You cannot make changes to diagnostics settings for products on a
remote machine.
You will see only diagnostic information for components installed on the machine
from which you are working. For example, if you choose to trace client connection
on the client machine, you will not see any information about client connection
activities that take place in MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.
You must quit and restart MicroStrategy Desktop or stop and restart
MicroStrategy Intelligence Server for the diagnostics settings to take affect.
Diagnostics Configuration Editor: Trace tab
The Trace tab allows you to specify the MicroStrategy Desktop components to
trace. In addition, you can trace information about some common processes like
report execution and object browsing.
Select the appropriate check boxes for the components you wish to trace.
Diagnostics Configuration Editor: Advanced tab
The Advanced tab provides extremely low level tracing options for specific
components within MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.
