1.   Look for an X_ERR.LOG. This will be written to the path defined by the X_RUN parameter TPTH. The default value for this path is the user's temporary folder which can be found using the shortcut %TEMP% for the path. You should refer to the Technical Reference guide for more information on how this path is evaluated. One or more of the following log files may be found:
MSIxxx.log
DPinstal.log
LANSAInstallLog.txt
LANSAInstallPermissions.txt
X_err.log
Import.log
InstallTrace.txt (requires x_run parameter ITRO=Y. This may be set globally in a Windows environment variable)

2.   Turn on tracing in the LANSA Listener for the Windows server application. See the LANSA Communications Setup Guide for details on how to setup tracing. A brief description follows.

3.   Turn on tracing in the LANSA application. Application level tracing is enabled by the X_RUN parameter ITRO=Y.

Turn on Tracing for the LANSA Listener.

The Communications Administration program (lcoadm32.exe) is installed to the Windows server application's \connect folder.

3.   Run your client application to connect to the Windows Server application. Then examine the trace file which is produced. The listener trace file (lroute.trc) is written to the \connect folder in the Windows server application folder. For example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\<company name>\<application name>\Connect

Turn on Application Level Tracing

The X_RUN parameter can most easily be set by defining an environment variable or by adding the parameter to the LANSA profile file (x_lansa.pro).

1.   Locate the LANSA profile file (x_lansa.pro) - for example, in the x_lansa folder:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\<company name>\<application name>\x_win95\x_lansa

2.   Open the x_lansa.pro file with Notepad.

3.   Add an ITRO=Y parameter.

4.   Optionally add a TPTH=c:\temp parameter, using any suitable folder name. The default path is the user's Windows temporary folder path (%TEMP%).

5a.   Save the x_lansa.pro file, ensuring you use Save As and select Save as Type (*.*) to prevent Notepad adding txt as the file type.

5b.   For Windows 8, you must start Notepad using Run as Administrator.
