Collecting the trace log
To collect error logs and access logs between XP P9000 Replication Manager and IBM HTTP
Server, use the log function of IBM HTTP Server.
To determine whether to collect logs of IBM HTTP Server, follow the instructions from the Web
administrator. Note that, if you do not collect logs, it might be difficult to determine the cause of
an access error.
