Changing debug values

Edit online

It is useful to change the debug level for administrators who have large zones and do not want the large amount of debug data collected when the server is first starting up and loading all of the zone data.

Domain Name System (DNS) in the IBM Navigator for i interface does not allow you to change the debug level while the server is running. However, you can use the character-based interface to change the debug level while the server is running. To change the debug level using the character-based interface, follow these steps, replacing nnnnn in the command with the name of the server instance:
  1. At the command line, type ADDLIBLE QDNS and press Enter.
  2. Change the debug level:
    • To turn debugging on or to increase the debug level by 1, type RNDC RNDCCMD('trace') and press Enter.
    • To turn debugging off, type RNDC RNDCCMD('notrace') and press Enter.
