4.1 Method Tracing

When diagnosing problems, it is often helpful to enable the method's trace functionality. The method reports many problems and failures in the trace logs.

4.1.1 Enabling Server Tracing

On the server, the method reports information to the NMAS trace functionality, which is integrated with eDirectory tracing. To turn on tracing, use the Novell eDirectory iMonitor tool and select the NMAS option in the trace configuration settings. For more information about iMonitor, see “Using Novell iMonitor”, in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP5 Administration Guide.

4.1.2 Enabling Client Tracing

On the client, the method reports information to the NMAS Client trace functionality. To turn on tracing, use the NMAS Client Configuration tool (ncc.exe).

The following example enables tracing:

ncc.exe -ta file=trace_file status=on mode=append

After turning tracing on, reboot the workstation to ensure that all processes use the new settings. The trace messages are written to the specified file.
