J2EE server node creates SNAP trace files - what are they, and why??

[Former Member]

We have randomly generated trace files that are titled "Snap000x.<date>.<time>.<id>.trc. What are they, why are they created and how can we use them to troubleshoot issues?

Hi David,

They are writing the all actions into a trace file, they are use ful when you want to debug some issue. This trace file is use ful when you are trouble shooting some error, you can run trace and run the error action and check the trace file. You get an idea of what actions are called and where could be the problem.

Hope this help you,

Hari.

The files themselves are not really intelligible, and are being created along with heapdump files.
