8.1 Using the DSTrace Utility

You can troubleshoot the driver using the DSTrace utility. You should configure the utility’s options by selecting Edit > Properties > Identity Manager Drivers.

For each event or operation received, the driver returns an XML document containing a status report. If the operation or event is not successful, the status report also contains a reason and a text message describing the error condition. If the result is fatal, the driver shuts down.

After you have configured the DSTrace utility, you can monitor your system for errors.

For more information about the DSTrace utility, see Viewing Identity Manager Processes in the Identity Manager 3.6.1 Common Driver Administration Guide and Capturing and Reading Novell Identity Manager Traces.
