SOAP Tracer
- Former user (Deleted)
The "SOAP Tracer" shows the SOAP messages, the respective SOAP message requests and responses - when the services are deployed on the server, and the invoked operations. By default, this feature is turned off. You have to turn it on to enable tracing.
Note
Turning on the Tracer feature will have a drag on the performance. This is because all the SOAP messages will always be completely built (i.e., deferred building will not be done) and stored in the database by WSO2 Data Services. Hence this option should be used with caution.
Follow the instructions below to access the SOAP Tracer.
1. Sign in. Enter your user name and password to log on to the ESB Management Console.
2. From the left navigation menu, under "Monitor" select "SOAP Tracer."
3. The "SOAP Message Tracer" page appears.
4. In "Status field," select "ON."
5. The tracer will show the messages of the operations that were invoked.
The SOAP messages are shown with their time-stamps, service name, operation invoked and the number of requests to the server. The most recent SOAP messages are listed on the top. When a particular SOAP message is selected, its "Request" and "Response" can be viewed.
Note
This tracer does not apply to operations invoked in the admin services, as they are filtered out.
6. Use the "Search" function to find a message. Fill in the field with a word (some words or a part of word) containing in a message and click on the"Search button.
7. You will see the message in the "Messages" list and its full description will be shown in the "Request" or "Response" textarea.
