1.16 File Management Enhancements for ISDNtrace Tool
With the Service Update, the user can specify new command line options provided with
the Dialogic
®
ISDNtrace tool to set the output log file size and to create multiple backup
log files to be archived.
1.16.1 Feature Description
This feature enhances the existing ISDN tracing file management for boards configured
with an ISDN load. Currently, all data is logged to a single file that can get too large during
a session, and the batch operations can copy over files that might be needed. With this
feature, the user can set command line options for size so that the single file is a
manageable size, and also set options to create multiple log files when the file reaches the
designated file size. In addition, the standard log file name format now conveniently shows
the date and time the log was created. The user also has an option to disable logging to
STDOUT to help manage trace output.
New Command Line Options
Currently, the ISDNtrace tool supports the following command line options as described in
the Dialogic
®
System Software Diagnostics Guide:
syntax: isdntrace -b# [-f xxxx] [-d#]
-b<n>
Logical ID of board (required). Use the listboards utility (Linux) or the Dialogic
®
Configuration Manager (DCM) (Windows
®
) to obtain the board’s logical ID.
Note: The listboards utility is described in the Administration Guide for the release
and DCM is described in the Configuration Guides for the (Windows
®
)
release.
-d<n>
The D-channel number (trunk number) on the specified board. The default value is 1.
-f <file>
Output log file name (required to save output in a file).
Note: A space is used after the -f option but not after -b or -d options.
-h
displays the same help information available in the ISDNtrace help menu screen. Note
that this option does not show on the syntax above; however it is available.
For the ISDNtrace tool, new command line options have been added and the -f option
enhanced to allow the user to manage log file(s) as follows:
syntax: isdntrace [-a#] -b# [-d#] [-f xxxx] [-m#] [-s]
-a<n>
Log file array size, max=10, default=1, optional
