Enable the WCF Trace Log

Use this procedure to enable the WCF Trace log.

To enable the WCF Trace log:

  1. Click Start > Deltek Cobra X.x > Deltek Cobra Web Service Management Tool.
    Note: Alternatively, navigate to the Cobra installation directory, locate CWSManagementTool, right-click it, and select Run As Administrator command from the shortcut menu.
  2. In the left pane under the Instances tree, select the first instance with issues.
  3. In the toolbar, click the Stop button.
    Attention: For more information, see “Toolbar” in Left Pane of the Cobra Web Service Management Tool.
  4. Verify that the instance status is Stopped.
  5. In the Cobra Web Service Instance Settings, select the Enable WCF Trace checkbox.
  6. In the Log File field, specify the WCF Trace log file.
    If you are enabling the WCF Trace log in multiple instances, Deltek recommends specifying different log file for each instance, and using names that can be easily identified for each instance. For example, include the port number dedicated to the instance such as CWSTraceLog_8116.svclog.
  7. Click the Save button to save your changes.
  8. In the toolbar, click the Run button.
  9. Verify that the instance status is Running.
  10. Repeat Steps 2 to 9 for other instances that you think are having issues. If you are not sure which instances are having issues, enable the WCF Trace Log in all instances.
