DSTRACE Flags
NDS displays a specific DSTRACE message only if DSTRACE has been turned on and the message's corresponding flag has been activated or enabled.
As with the DSTRACE actions, all DSTRACE flags are enabled and disabled using the console set command "SET DSTRACE=". However, where the DSTRACE actions use the "*" (asterisk character), the DSTRACE Flags are enabled and disabled using one of the following characters:
:
Character Description
+ The "plus" character enables a DSTRACE flag.
| The "pipe" character enables a DSTRACE flag.
- The "minus", or dash, character disables a DSTRACE flag.
& The ampersand character disables a DSTRACE flag.
( The "left parenthesis" character is used to exclusively enable one
DSTRACE flag while simultaneously disabling all currently-enabled DSTRACE flags.
Note: When used, this character requires the "right parenthesis" be specified after the single DSTRACE flag.
Examples of the usage of these characters can be found on the subsequent pages.
To enable the Miscellaneous DSTRACE flag, either of the following console commands could be issued:
SET DSTRACE=+MISC or SET DSTRACE=|MISC
To disable the Miscellaneous DSTRACE flag, either of the following console commands could be used:
SET DSTRACE=-MISC or SET DSTRACE=&MISC
To turn off DSTRACE and then turn it on again with all previously-enabled flags disabled and only the Miscellaneous DSTRACE flag enabled, the following console command would be used: SET DSTRACE=(MISC)
To enable or disable multiple DSTRACE flags in one console command requires each flag be separated from the previous flag, with at least one space. For example, to enable the Miscellaneous, Limber, and Backlinker DSTRACE flags, the following console command could be used: SET DSTRACE=+MISC +LIMBER +BLINK
It is possible to enable and disable various flags with one console command.
For example, to enable the Schema Synchronization flag, disable the Janitor and Miscellaneous flags, and enable the Resolve Name flag, the following console command could be used:
SET DSTRACE=+SCHEMA -JANITOR -MISC +RESNAME
It is important to note that only the DSTRACE enabled and disabled flags can be combined on one console command line. If multiple commands are placed on the same line of different types, only the first command listed will be used.
For example, the following console command results in only those DSTRACE messages that are checked against the Schema Synchronization DSTRACE flag being displayed:
SET DSTRACE=+SCHEMA (LIMBER) -MIN
Another example, would be the following console command:
SET DSTRACE=!D !EI !G32
In the example above, only the "!D" will be carried out to disable inbound and outbound replica synchronization.
