Summary :
In diagnosing issues with BR Tools (brarchive, brbackup, brconnect, brrestore), it is sometimes necessary to enable tracing in addition to the standard logging to capture detailed trace information crucial for development support or to address specific scenarios like prolonged SQL executions or environmental checks. Traces should be activated only under exceptional circumstances due to potential high data volumes and system impact, requiring careful monitoring of the trace file size and system capacity. Trace configuration is achieved by setting the BR_TRACE environment variable or using the "-TRC" parameter with various levels that specifically target external program calls, SQL statements, internal functions, and environmental settings.
