Traces

Many components of the OMEGAMON® for Storage product contain dynamic tracing capability. For these components you can start and stop traces while the agent is running and those traces displays information specific to that one component in the RKLVLOG.

Whenever possible, use these component-specific traces instead of the DEBUG(ON) switch mentioned in Chapter 1 under the section Tips regarding the collection of diagnostic data. The DEBUG(ON) switch floods the RKLVLOG with information about all components in the product, making it difficult to find information related to a problem.

Dynamic tracing can easily be started and stopped by issuing modify commands to the TEMS started task. The command format is:

F stc_name,S3DB START,trace_identifier

F stc_name,S3DB STOP,trace_identifier
