Increasing the HTTP logs in TIBCO BusinessWorks when you are debugging or troubleshooting an HTTP-based integration that could be related to a REST or SOAP service is one of the most used and helpful things you can do when developing with TIBCO BusinessWorks.

The primary purpose of increasing the HTTP logs is to get complete knowledge about what information you are sending and which communication you are receiving from your partner communicator to help understand an error or unexpected behavior.

What are the primary use cases for increasing the HTTP logs?

In the end, all the different use cases are variations of the primary use case: “Get full knowledge about the HTTP exchange communication between both parties.” Still, some more detailed ones can be listed below:

  • Understand why a backend server is rejecting a call that could be related to Authentication or Authorization, and you need to see the detailed response by the backend server.
  • Verify the value of each HTTP Header you are sending that could affect the communication’s compression or accepted content type.
  • See why you’re rejecting a call from a consumer
