You can collect log and trace files for the IBM Workload Scheduler agent, by performing the following actions:

When the agent is running:: By using the twstrace command as described in twstrace command.
When the agent is stopped:: By configuring the [JobManager.Logging] section in the JobManager.ini file.
For more information, see Configuring log message properties [JobManager.Logging.cclog].
This procedure requires that you stop and restart the dynamic agent.
Using the Dynamic Workload Console: Log in to the Dynamic Workload Console and proceed as described in Retrieving IBM Workload Scheduler agent traces from the Dynamic Workload Console.
