Configuring ODBC tracing options

Last Updated : Sep 19, 2024 |

About this task

You can specify how the ODBC driver traces ODBC function calls. If tracing is activated, the system generates a file that contains the actual ODBC function calls.

Procedure

  1. From Control Panel, navigate to Set up ODBC Data sources (32-bit) or Set up ODBC Data sources (64-bit) as appropriate for your version of Windows.

    The ODBC Data Source Administrator window is displayed.

  2. Click the Tracing tab.
  3. Choose one of the following options:
    • Click Start Tracing Now to trace ODBC calls or observe ODBC activity.

    • Click Stop Tracing Now to stop tracing when the ODBC session is completed.

    • In the Log File Path area, click Browse to select or change the file to which the Informix driver writes tracing information. The default log file is \SQL.LOG.

      Important:

      Do not change the default entry in the Custom Trace DLL area.
