To activate the Dynamic Workload Console traces at run time, locate and edit the trace.xml template as described below.

Templates for the Dynamic Workload Console are stored in the following paths:
On UNIX operating systems
DWC_home/usr/servers/dwcServer/configDropins/templates
On Windows operating systems
DWC_home\usr\servers\dwcServer\configDropins\templates

To modify the trace.xml template, follow this procedure:

  1. Copy the template file from the templates folder to a working folder.
  2. Edit the template file in the working folder with the desired configuration.
  3. Optionally, create a backup copy of the relevant configuration file present in the overrides directory in a different directory. Ensure you do not copy the backup file in the path where the template files are located.
  4. Copy the updated template file to the overrides folder. Maintaining the original folder structure is not required.
  5. Changes are effective immediately.
