<h3><a name="trbenabletrace"></a>Enable the trace service</h3>
<p>Use the WebSphere administrative console to enable the trace service for an
application server. The trace service can be enabled dynamically or statically
for an application server.</p>
<p>When you enable trace dynamically, the trace settings are in effect only for
the lifetime of the server. The trace settings are not saved to the application
server configuration. Use dynamic trace when the problem you are diagnosing
occurs after the application server has started successfully.</p>
<p>When you enable trace statically, the trace settings are not enabled until
the application server is started (or restarted). The trace settings are used
every time you start the application server. Use static trace when the problem
you are diagnosing occurs during application server startup.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Depending on the amount of trace event data being collected,
the trace service can negatively affect performance of the application server.
Once you have gathered the appropriate trace, be sure to disable the trace
service.</p>
