Troubleshooting tools

Edit online

If you receive an error while attempting to generate a type tree in the Database Interface Designer or if you run a map that uses database sources and/or targets and receive a runtime error or do not get the expected output, use any or all of the following troubleshooting tools:

  • Map audit log (either Mer_mapname_processkey_mapcounter_hostname.log for unique audit logs or mapname.log for audit logs that do not use the Unique setting)

    For information about the map audit log and related settings, see the Map Designer documentation.

  • Database Interface Designer trace (mdq_filename.dbl)
  • Database execution trace file (mapname.dbl)
  • Database source and target data
  • Database audit file (audit.dbl)
  • DBMS trace utilities and SQL command tools
