Question

How can I confirm the ?tracesoap=true parameter is applied?

Answer

The tracesoap parameter is applied to the web client URL as follows:

http://<hostname>:<port>/webtier-9.34/index.do?tracesoap=true

When the parameter is applied the web client sm.log (location is defined in <application root>/<application name>/WEB-INF/log4j.properties) you will find debug lines to the web client sm.log as follows:

DEBUG http-bio-8080-exec-88 TraceSoap - request: <getPreferences>
 <ClientSysInfo>
  <release>9</release>
  <version>33</version>

  <networkAddress>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</networkAddress>
  <hardware>x86</hardware>
