When the adapter starts, rules contained in the rule set file are read in and compiled into an internal form. The compilation enables the adapter to parse the input data efficiently. If the trace attribute of the rule set object is set to TRUE, the adapter dumps a trace of the compiled rules after it has converted them to the internal form. This option is used for debugging purposes only.

Specify the --traceRules option with the sm_adapter command to set the trace attribute of the rule set object to TRUE.
