Tracing

If errors are encounted when using Fault Analyzer, Tracing can be enabled to generate log files to assist in problem determination.

Server / Host Diagnostics

In case of server error, a trace can be created on the server side by going to Window > Preferences and selecting the preference page in the screenshot above. The trace is turned off by default and is set to off every time Eclipse is restarted.

The option "Enable Host ZZDEBUG Trace" controls the gathering of trace information.

Fault Analyzer plugin v14.1.9 (and Host PTF UI66662 ) enhanced this option; the "zzdebug" trace file is downloaded to the eclipse workspace.

Fault Analyzer preference page

If trace is enabled and a fault entry "reanalyzed", the "zzdebug trace" appears under the selected fault entry.

ZZDEBUG trace file appears as a child of Fault Entry

Client / GUI Diagnostics

In case of client error, a Fault Analyzer specific log, detailing server communications and plugin operations is available in the workspace located under the "FaultAnalyzer" folder in a file named ".log". The log file is cleared every time Eclipse is restarted.
