Determining the location of TDS log

Troubleshooting


Problem

We can use the idsilist tool to inform us the base directory where a TDS instance is located and from here obtain the ibmslapd.log for troubleshooting purposes

Resolving The Problem

Please use the idsilist tool to determine the location of the tds log.

Refer steps below :

1. "idsilist -a" will give you instance name and instance location, and here is the complete path

<InstanceHome>/idsslapd-<InstanceName>/logs/ibmslapd.log

2. See example below

# cd /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.2/sbin

# ./idsilist -a

Directory server instances:

--------------------------------------

Instance 1:

Name: idsinst

Version: 6.2

Location: /appl/ldap

Description: LDAP instance idsinst for IBM TN

IP Addresses: All available

Port: 1389

Secure Port: 1636

Admin Server Port: 3538

Admin Server Secure Port: 3539

Type: Directory Server

3. From above we can obtain the following values

<InstanceHome> = /appl/ldap

<InstanceName> = idinst

4. The location for the tds log in this example will be :

/appl/ldap/idsslapd-idsinst/logs/ibmslapd.log

This file is crucial for troubleshooting TDS related issues.
