Creating a trace log is particularly useful when you are troubleshooting an issue.

To create a trace log:

  1. Enable tracing:
    • On Windows, enable tracing through the Tracing tab of the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
    • On Linux, enable tracing by directly modifying the [ODBC] section in the system information (odbc.ini) file.
  2. Start the ODBC application and reproduce the issue.
  3. Stop the application and turn off tracing.
  4. Open the log file in a text editor and review the output to help you debug the problem.
