You can get a LOG file with your workflow trace following this steps:
1. Edit web.config.
2. Insert the following code just BEFORE <appSettings> (always AFTER </System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler>):
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.Workflow.Runtime" >
<listeners>
<add name = "System.Workflow"/>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting">
<listeners>
<add name="System.Workflow"/>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.Workflow.Activities">
<listeners>
<add name="System.Workflow"/>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add name="System.Workflow"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:MyWorkflowTrace.log"
traceOutputOptions="DateTime,ProcessId"/>
</sharedListeners>
<switches>
<add name="System.Workflow LogToFile" value="1" />
<add name="System.Workflow.Runtime" value="All" />
<add name="System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting" value="All" />
<add name="System.Workflow.Runtime.Tracking" value="All" />
<add name="System.Workflow.Activities" value="All" />
<add name="System.Workflow.Activities.Rules" value="All" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
Your Trace will appear on the path that you’ve set in ‘initializeData’ (in this case: C:MyWorkflowTrace.log).
