I'm currently trying to do a<strong> mpiexec -trace MPIApp.exe</strong> but I am getting the error.<br/> <br/> <br/> <em>Aborting: failed to start tracing on ...<br/> Error (5) Access is denied. </em> <br/> <br/> I know the problem is that I don't have access to the cluster, and the cluster administrator does not want to give me access to use cluster manager, but he asked me to post here if there was a way around it.  Can he give me the capabilities of using -trace without giving me access to the cluster manager?  Can we setup a certain job template that I can use the -trace function?<br/> <br/> Any help is appreciated,<br/> <br/> AJ© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
