Enterprise Line of Business Adapter Tracing

I am working with the BizTalk JDE adapter, and this is a very handy feature. A couple of times already I was just stuck, but examining the trace logs gave me the additional information I needed to troubleshoot my error. I do not have a lot of experience with tracing, so it took me a bit to catch on to exactly how it works.

The documentation is here. Here are my exact steps:

  1. Download and install the Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK (google it to find the version you need–I was developing on Windows Server 2003). All you really need is one file–tracelog.exe
  2. Copy tracelog.exe to your adapter installation directory. Mine was C:Program FilesMicrosoft BizTalk Adapters for Enterprise ApplicationsJ.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne(r)Bin
  3. Open a command prompt and go to that same directory. Run the command BTAJDEEnterpriseOneTrace.cmd -transmitter -start. This uses tracelog.exe to start a trace.
  4. Run whatever BizTalk-to-JDE process is giving you problems.
  5. From the command prompt again, run the command BTAJDEEnterpriseOneTrace.cmd -transmitter -stop to stop the trace.
  6. Run the command tracerpt C:rtlog.etl -o C:log.csv, where C:log.csv is where you want your report to go.
  7. This is now a CSV file containing much more information than what the adapter sends to the event log. I opened Excel and imported the data to make it more readable.

    Hi, there
    This is very nice post. Recently, I am studying BizTalk JDE adapter and then I found your blog. Have you encountered the error as below ?
    E-JDE0036: Failed to start Java virtual machine. Missing or invalid JRE
    Like you said, I was just stuck. Do you have any comments for this?
    Thanks, Ark

      It’s been a while, but yes, I think I did run into that problem. If I remember correctly, you have to configure the adapter with a path to the JRE. If you have Java installed on the machine, you will need to configure your path correctly.

    Thanks for your comments. Finally, I have solved this problem due t0 64 bit OS. When I run on 32 bit OS. The error has been gone.
