OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide

Introduction
Notice Verbose This is the same as above, but contains more detailed information.
When more than one subcomponent can return a given error message or status code, the
severity level is dependent on the subcomponent or particular circumstances. In these
cases, the severity field will state, "Varies".
1.1.2 Subcomponents
DCE components can consist of several subcomponents. For example, the DCE Host
Daemon component consists of the following subcomponents:
aclmgr
xattrschema
general
hostdata
rkeytab
secval
srvrconf
srvrexec
locks
endpoint
When more than one subcomponent could issue an error message or status code, the
subcomponent field states, "Varies". Otherwise, this field notes the specific
subcomponent.
1.2 Message Routing With the Serviceability API
Message routing allows for the specification of where messages are sent. There are five
methods for routing messages. See the svcroute(5svc) reference page for details on how
to set the routes.
1.2.1 UsingRouting Files
If a routing file is used, then the file specifies the routing based on severity levels. The
destination could be one of the following:
BINFILE Messages are written as binary log entries to a file
TEXTFILE Messages are written as human-readable text to a file
FILE This is the equivalent of TEXTFILE
DISCARD Messages are not recorded
