Tracing level in Informatica defines the amount of data you wish to write in the session log when you execute the workflow. Tracing level is a very important aspect in Informatica as it helps in analyzing the error. It is very helpful in finding the bugs in the process. You can define tracing level in every transformation. The tracing level option is present in every transformation properties window. There are four types of tracing level available:
- Normal:When you set the tracing level as normal, Informatica stores status information, information about errors and skipped rows. You get detailed information but not at an individual row level.
- Terse: When you set the tracing level as terse, Informatica stores error information and information of rejected records. Terse tracing level occupies less space as compared to normal.
- Verbose Initialization: When you set the tracing level as verbose Initialize, it stores process details related to startup, details about index and data files...
