13.1 Obtaining Debugging Output

Identity Manager Fan-Out driver components support the option to produce extensive debugging output. Although this output is intended primarily for use by Novell Technical Support, you might find it useful for your own troubleshooting efforts.

Because debugging mode adversely affects performance, it should not be used for routine operations.

To obtain debugging output for the Platform Receiver on IBM i:

  1. Add a DEBUGLOGFILE statement or DEBUGTOSTDOUT statement to the platform configuration file.

    For information, see Section 10.0, The Platform Configuration File.

  2. Specify the debugging command line parameter when you start the Platform Receiver.

    To obtain full debugging output, specify DEBUG(*) on the command line.

    To obtain debugging output limited to messages exchanged with Core Drivers, specify DEBUG(dom).
