Current Setting Type

Check Box

Use this system option to track all xWeb method calls in the table ws_activity_log. NetForum logs errors regardless of this system option's setting. There is not a front end user interface to view these records. Instead you will need to execute a SQL command to view this data.

Depending on the volume of xWeb calls, this table can grow to a large size. It can be safely truncated after any analysis is completed. In a stable production system, this table should generally have zero rows. Alternatively, you can use SOAP Request Tracing, a server-side technique, to log web service calls.

Important! Logging xWeb Activity degrades xWeb performance. Every time the activity is logged, one or more records are inserted in a database log table. This feature is useful in development scenarios for diagnostics but it should not be enabled for a significant length of time in a production system. For hosted clients, if this option is left on, it will be turned off and the log table truncated; this is done to maintain optimal performance.

The default for this option is false (cleared check box).
