How to prevent the display of traceback details

By default to facilitate debugging, interactive users can view Java traceback details from a link in the exception form. In production systems, this display is not meaningful to users and discloses internal details that in some situations could be considered a security risk.

Optionally, you can suppress this display by using the following prconfig Dynamic System Setting:

Dynamic System Setting: prconfig/initialization/displayexceptiontraceback/default

The prconfig/initialization/displayexceptiontraceback/default setting determines if traceback details are displayed in an exception form.

Changing this setting does not affect the logging of traceback details in the Pega logs.

The following values are valid for this Dynamic System Setting:

Value

Description

true Traceback details appear in displayed exception forms. (Default)
false Traceback details appear in displayed exception forms.

Caution: Updating Dynamic System Settings can have a significant impact on the operation of your system.
