CORBA 2.3.3 Administration Guide (NonStop CORBA 2.3.3+)

PATHCOM lets you verify the current configurations of NonStop CORBA runtime processes.
The NonStop CORBA error log is the primary source of information about NonStop CORBA execution
errors. A variable in the NonStop CORBA configuration file controls the error logging.
The NonStop CORBA trace facility lets you follow the flow of control in an application to discover when
and where an error occurred. Each component has a variable in the configuration file that controls the
tracing for that component.
SCF lets you verify the configuration of networking resources, validate addressing information, discover
recurrent errors, and obtain line traces and protocol traces.
The Ptrace utility helps you to interpret SCF traces.
The Event Management Service (EMS), which has several interactive and programmatic interfaces, helps
you capture and integrate the error information reported by different processes including TS/MP, NonStop
TM/MP, the operating system, and the networking services. See the EMS Manual for descriptions of the
EMS interfaces.
