Debugging levels
Use the debugging levels to identify an appropriate debug level to obtain debug trace for a directory server instance.
The ldtrc utility
must be running to obtain the debug trace when you run the server
utilities in debug mode. The ldtrc utility is not
required for the client utilities. For example, to run the idscfgdb command
in debug mode for a directory server instance, myinst,
issue the following commands.
ldtrc on
idscfgdb -I myinst -d debuglevelThe specified debug level value determines which categories of debug output to generate.

For example, when you specify a bit mask value of 65535,
the command turns on full debug output and generates the most complete
information.
Contact IBM® Service for assistance with interpreting of the debug output and resolving of the problem.
When you are finished with debugging, issue the following command to deactivate the ldtrc utility.
