Field service debug workflow
In OpenManage Enterprise, you can authorize console debugging by using the Field Service Debug (FSD) option.
By using FSD, you can perform the following tasks:
● Allow enabling and copying of debug logs
● Allow copying of real-time logs
● Allow backing up or restoring of database to VM.
The topics referenced in each task provide detailed instructions. To enable FSD, perform the following tasks:
1. Unblock FSD capability. See Unblock the FSD capability on page 175.
2. Install or grant signed FSD DAT.ini file. See Install or grant a signed FSD DAT.ini file on page 175.
3. Invoke FSD. See Invoke FSD on page 175.
4. Disable FSD. See Disable FSD on page 176.
