Enabling deployment-level tracing

Deployment-level tracing would enable tracing for all the server roles. However, this tracing can only be configured from a machine that has the Deployment Tool role installed.

Deployment-level tracing can only be configured using Windows PowerShell commands.

How to do it…

By following this recipe, we can enable deployment-level tracing on the machine that is running the Deployment Tool server role.

We need to perform the following steps to achieve this:

Log in to the machine as a local administrator and launch Windows PowerShell by clicking on Start | All Programs | Accessories | Windows PowerShell | Windows PowerShell.
In the PowerShell window, type the following command:
```
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
```

To turn on the deployment-wide tracing, type the following commands:

$Setting = Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings
$Setting.Enabled = $True 
Set-CrmSetting $setting

To turn off the deployment-wide tracing, type the following commands:

$Setting = Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings
$Setting.Enabled = $False 
Set-CrmSetting $setting

To check the current status of the deployment-wide tracing, type the following command:
```
Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings
```
Note

The trace files are located at C:\crmdrop\logs.

How it works…

Deployment-level tracing provides deployment-wide tracing information. This setting should be carefully enabled as this would log tracing from every server where the Dynamics CRM 2011 server roles are running.

The deployment-level trace setting is stored in the MSCRM_CONFIG database. Use the following T-SQL command to find the deployment tracing setting in the database:

SELECT [ColumnName],[IntColumn],[BitColumn],[NVarCharColumn]
FROM [MSCRM_CONFIG].[dbo].[DeploymentProperties]
WHERE ColumnName LIKE'Trace%'

The default values will be as shown in the following screenshot:
