Basic Installation and Configuration Debugging Problem Determination Approach Review the log files Check the available resources for known issues. Problem Determination Guide Technotes Enable tracing or additional debugging options. Review the additional debug messages and consult the Messages Guide.
Basic Installation and Configuration Debugging
Basic Installation and Configuration Debugging The most useful resources in debugging an issue with Installation and configuration are as follows: The “Problem Determination Guide”: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/topic/com.ibm.IBMDS.doc/PDGuide.htm The “Search Support” feature of the ITDS Support site: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMDirectoryServer.html The “Messages Guide”: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/topic/com.ibm.IBMDS.doc/messages.htm
Basic Debugging – Helpful Installation Log Files
Basic Debugging – Helpful Installation Log Files Log Location ITDS ISMP Install Logs /var/idsldap/ldapinst.log ITDS Install Logs (ISMP installp errors) /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.0/installp_isje.log DB2 Install Logs ISMP When installing using the InstallShield GUI /var/idsldap/V6.0/db2licmAddstdout.log /var/idsldap/V6.0/db2licmAddstderr.log /var/idsldap/V6.0/db2licmstdout /var/idsldap/V6.0/db2licmstderr.log DB2 Install Logs Native When installing using the db2_install utility /tmp/db2_install.rc.99999 /tmp/db2_install.log.99999 Native Install issues on AIX Review the SMIT log: /smit.log
Basic Debugging – Helpful Server Log Files
Basic Debugging – Helpful Server Log Files Log Location ITDS Critical Server Logs /home/db2inst1/idsslapd-db2inst1/logs Most Important Files: audit.log db2cli.log ibmslapd.log DB2 Critical Logs /home/inst_name/sqllib/db2dump Most Important Files: db2diag.log instname.nfy
The ibmslapd.log is always the first place to start debugging. This contains valuable information about the directory server and possible problems that the server may be seeing.
Basic Debugging – Helpful Web Admin Log Files
Basic Debugging – Helpful Web Admin Log Files Log Location ITDS WebAdmin Logs: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.0/appsrv/IDSLogs ITDS WebAdmin Logs: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.0/appsrv/logs/server1
The ibmslapd.log is always the first place to start debugging. This contains valuable information about the directory server and possible problems that the server may be seeing.
