Globalized tracing messages

The API supports trace messages that correspond to a particular locale. The current database locale determines which code set the trace message uses.

Based on the current database locale, a given tracepoint can produce a globalized trace message. Globalized tracing enables you to develop and test the same code in many different locales.

To provide globalized tracing support, the API provides the following capabilities:
  • The systracemsgs system catalog table stores globalized trace messages.
  • Two globalized trace functions, gl_dprintf( ) and gl_tprintf( ), format globalized trace messages.
