Obtain the list of IDs in a trace log for a perspective

By default, when you enable the trace log, you get IDs for the Startup and DITA perspectives.

Note: This applies only to On-Premise deployments.

To get the IDs for another perspective, you must add it to the eclipseui.xml configuration file.

To enable the trace log for a perspective:

  1. Open the TEXTML Administration perspective by clicking the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the tool bar. If the shortcut is not displayed, follow these steps:
    1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
    2. Click TEXTML Administration.
    3. Click Open.
  2. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server. If your server is not displayed in the view, you must add it to the view.
  3. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
  4. Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
  5. Expand the Content Store's Repository node and browse to /system/conf to locate the eclipseui.xml file.
  6. Right-click eclipseui.xml and select Check Out.
  7. Open the file in an XML editor.
  8. For the perspective that you want to customize, add the following code: 
    <perspective id="perspective_ID">
   <section id="menu">
   </section>
   <section id="submenu">
   </section>
   <section id="oxygenpopup">
   </section>
   <section id="oxygenactionbar">
   </section>
   <section id="panels">
   </section>
   <section id="views">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.map.MapView">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SearchGuiMiniBar">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.sidebar">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SideBarResults">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.job.JobView">
   </section>
   <section id="toolbar">
   </section>
</perspective>
    Where perspective_ID is the ID of the perspective.
    If you do not know what the ID of the perspective is, run IXIASOFT CCMS with the trace log enabled and open the perspective. The log will display the ID of the perspective.
    For example, to get the IDs for the RelTable Editing perspective, enter:
    <perspective id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.perspective.DitaRelationshipPerspective">
   <section id="menu">
   </section>
   <section id="submenu">
   </section>
   <section id="oxygenpopup">
   </section>
   <section id="oxygenactionbar">
   </section>
   <section id="panels">
   </section>
   <section id="views">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.map.MapView">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SearchGuiMiniBar">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.sidebar">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SideBarResults">
   </section>
   <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.job.JobView">
   </section>
   <section id="toolbar">
   </section>
</perspective>
  9. Save and check in the file.
  10. Inform users of the changes and request that they close and reopen their CCMS Desktop to apply the changes.
