Troubleshooting Utilities on Linux and UNIX 89
As you use the debugging messages in DSTrace, you will find that some of the trace flags are more
useful than others. One of the favorite DSTrace settings of Novell Support is actually a shortcut:
set ndstrace = A81164B91
This setting enables a group of debugging messages.
16.7.3 Background Processes
In addition to the debugging messages, which help you check the status of eDirectory, there is a set of
commands that force the eDirectory background processes to run. To force the background process to
run, place an asterisk (*) before the command. For example:
set ndstrace = *H
You can also change the status, timing, and control for a few of the background processes. To change
these values, place an exclamation point (!) before the command and enter a new parameter or value.
For example:
set ndstrace = !H 15 (parameter_value_in_minutes)
The following is the syntax for each statement controlling the background processes of eDirectory:
set ndstrace = <trace_flag> [parameter]
The following table lists the trace flags for the background processes, any required parameters, and
the process the trace flags are displayed.
TVEC Messages related to the following attributes: Synchronize Up To, Replica Up
To, and Transitive Vector.
VCLN Messages related to the establishment or deletion of connections with other
servers.
