Trace File Name
The debug postfix option is used for creating the trace files in the
following directory:
• On UNIX systems: /tmp
• On Windows systems: <Data_Protector_home>\tmp
• On Novell NetWare systems: SYS:\USR\OMNI\TMP
The files are named
OB2DBG_<did>__<Program>_<Host>_<pid>_<XYZ>
where:
<did> (debugging ID) is the process ID of the first process that
accepts the debugging parameters. This ID is used as an ID for the
debugging session. All further processes will use this ID.
<Program> is the code name of the Data Protector program writing
the trace.
<Host> is the name where the trace file is created.
<pid> is the process ID.
<XYZ> is the postfix as specified in the -debug parameter.
Once the backup or restore session ID(<sid>) is determined, it will be
added to the filename:
OB2DBG_<did>_<sid>_<Program>_<Host>_<pid>_<XYZ>
Processes that add the <sid> are BMA/RMA, xBDA/xRDA, and other
processes started by the session, but not by the BSM/RSM itself.
NOTE The session ID is intended to help you identify sets of debug files. Other
debug files may belong to the same session and you may have to provide
them as well.
trace.log A trace.log file is generated on the Cell Manager, containing
information where (on which hosts) debug files are generated and which
debugging prefixes are being used. Note that this file does not contain a
complete list of all generated files.
