Work Porcess Trace level - 2 - Any little penalty on Performnace due to it?

[pr_srinivas]

Hello......Experts

We normally observe , Incidentally on some application server, some one work process Trace level is switched to "2" which in turn shows "YELLOW" in SM50.

Q1 - When this automatic Trace level is increased of a Work Process ?

Q2 - When work process Trace level increased, some extra logging will take place...Will it create any little penalty ( negotiable) on over all application server performance ?

Hi PR,

Q1) The trace level should not increase automatically for a long time. When some processes crashes, the trace is increased automatically just to log this error and then is switched back to 1 (this should not take more than 1 or 2 seconds). There is also a known issue described in note 1515602 where the traces increase automatically.

Q2) It could have some impact as the system will be constantly recording data on the OS level, you could have some performance degradation due to excessive I/O and also some penalty about disk space.

Cheers,
