HP Data Protector Operations Guide

Debugging Data Protector
Almost all Data Protector commands can be started with an additional -debug parameter that has
the following syntax:
–debug 1–99[,C:<n>][,T:<s>][,U] <XYZ> [<host>]
Where:
• 1–200 is the debug range. Specify the range 1–200 unless instructed otherwise. Specify
optional parameters as a part of the range parameter, separated by commas:
o C:<n> limits the size of debug files to n kilobytes. The minimum value is 4 (4 kB)
and the default value is 1024 (1 MB).
o T:<s> is the timestamp resolution, where the default value is 1, 1000 means the
resolution is one millisecond and 0 means timestamps are turned off.
Note: On some platforms (Novell NetWare, MPE), millisecond resolution is not
available.
o U is the Unicode flag. If it is specified, the debug files on Windows are written in
the Unicode format.
•
<XYZ> is the debug postfix, for example DBG_01.txt.
•
<host> is a list of clients where debugging is turned on.
To enable debugging, go to File -> Preferences -> Debug, and enable the debug settings:
Range 1–400, filename
debug.txt.
