9.0 Tracing a Job

You can add trace levels to a job manually. The following steps provide instructions for manually tracing a job in iManager.

For information about adding a trace level to a job in Designer, see Configuring Jobs in the NetIQ Designer for Identity Manager Administration Guide.

In iManager, click to display the Identity Manager Administration page.
Open the Overview page for the job where the job is defined:
1. In the Administration list, click Identity Manager Overview to display the Identity Manager Overview page.
2. In the Search in field, specify the fully distinguished name of the container where you want to start searching for driver sets and then click , or leave [root] in the field and click to search from the root of the tree.
  
  You can also click to browse for and select the container in the tree structure, or click to select the container from a list of previously selected objects.
3. After the available driver sets are displayed on the Driver Sets page, click the desired driver set to display the Driver Set Overview page.
4. (Conditional) If you want to trace the job for a driver (rather than a driver set), click the driver to display the Driver Overview page.
Click the Jobs tab.
Click the job for which you want to add trace level.

The Jobs dialog is displayed.
Select the Misc tab.
Set the parameters for tracing, then click OK. For information about the trace properties, see Table 9-1.

Table 9-1 Job Trace Parameters

Parameter	Description
Trace level	As the job trace level increases, the amount of information displayed in DSTrace increases. Trace level one shows errors, but not the cause of the errors. If you want to see password synchronization information, set the trace level to five. If you select Use setting from Driver Set, the value is taken from the driver set.
Trace file	Specify a file name and location of where the Identity Manager information is written for the selected job. If you select Use setting from Driver Set, the value is taken from the driver set.
Trace file encoding	The trace file uses the system’s default encoding. You can specify another encoding if desired.
Trace file size limit	Allows you to set a limit for the Java trace file. If you set the file size to unlimited, the file grows in size until there is no disk space left. NOTE:The trace file is created in multiple files. Identity Manager automatically divides the maximum file size by ten and creates ten separate files. The combined size of these files equals the maximum trace file size. If you select Use setting from Driver Set, the value is taken from the driver set.
Trace name	The job trace messages are prepended with the value entered instead of the job name. Use if the job name is very long.
