Problem

-- how to troubleshoot ALE connectivity issue

-- how to set the debug on the SAP / ALE connector

Resolution

* open the file $CORE_LOCAL/config/starter/starter.env

* add the following lines (the B2Bi PE TA ALE IB Task is used for receiving files from SAP Server, B2Bi PE TA ALE OB Task is used to send files to SAP Server. Depending on what you need to troubleshoot, set the debug on the related PE)

B2Bi PE TA ALE IB Task:

CORE_JVM_COMMON_DEBUG=on
JAVA_EXT_DEBUG=on

B2Bi PE TA ALE OB Task:
CORE_JVM_COMMON_DEBUG=on
JAVA_EXT_DEBUG=on

* restart Integrator server

* the debug info will be produced in $CORE_DATA/log/starter.log and in the trace file

* the debug logs are verbose. Remove the debug option once the logs have been collected
