Hi all,
I would like to output the block level trace in a form to to a file(by default its console)...WHERE DO I SPECIFY THE PATH TO THE FILE? I have checked waveset.properties and SystemConfiguration files but found that we can only specify the trace of an entire workflow..
"Block trace to a file" is what i want..

SUBJECT:
How to dynamically enable trace for a single workflow.
QUESTION:
If you've ever enabled workflow trace in the Waveset.properties file, you know that
it can generate a lot of output. Is it possible to just enable tracing for a single
workflow?
ANSWER:
There are three ways to turn on workflow trace:
- Waveset.properties file
- in the WFProcess definition
- with a workflow variable
To enable trace unconditionally for a particular process, you will need to edit the
XML of the TaskDefinition object.
Locate the <WFProcess> element and add this attribute:
trace='console'
to trace to the console or:
trace='workflowTrace.txt'
to trace to a file. You can have more control over when tracing happens by using a workflow variable. The engine will look for a top-level workflow variable named "trace" whose value may be set as shown above.
For example:
<Variable name='trace'>
<cond>
<eq>
<ref>accountId</ref>
<s>adminA</s>
</eq>
<s>workflowTrace.txt</s>
</cond>
</Variable>
This turns trace on only if the workflow is operating on a user named "adminA".
You could also set this in a form field if you want to control trace interactively.
Hi,
Thanks for the info. You have specified workflowTrace.txt but how do u specify the path of the file? I have tried using trace='c:\workflowTrace.txt' but it is writing to the console.
Is there any means of writing the form block trace(code embedded in block trace='true') to a file(instead of the entire workflow)?
