DCE 1.2.1 Features and Programming Notes

Serviceability Improvements

DCE 1.2.1 has an improved feature of Serviceability. This feature is

helpful in debugging any problems under different sub components of

DCE.

The default location for this ﬁle is /opt/dcelocal/var/svc/routing.

The DCE_SVC_ROUTING_FILE environment variable can be used to

name an alternate location for the ﬁle. The ﬁle is consulted if no switch

is given on the command line or if no environment variable (SVC_level

or SVC_comp_DBG) is found when a DCE process is started. Leading

whitespace is ignored, as is any line whose ﬁrst non-whitespace

character is a #.

Production messages are parsed as:

<level> is FATAL ERROR WARNING NOTICE NOTICE_VERBOSE

or * (meaning all)

<where> is STDERR STDOUT FILE (or TEXTFILE) BINFILE

DISCARD

<parameter> is the ﬁlename, where “%ld” becomes the process-id

Send all messages to the console:

*. FILE:/dev/console

If FILE or BINFILE ends with “.n.m”, then at most “n” ﬁles and at most

“m” messages for each ﬁle will be written, where “.n” will be appended

to each generation of the ﬁle. To keep the last 1000 NOTICE messages

for all programs, with 100 messages in each of 10 ﬁles:

NOTICE: FILE.10.100:/var/log/syslog

Multiple routings for the same severity level can be speciﬁed by simply

adding the additional desired routings to form a semicolon-separated

list of <where>:<parameter> pairs.

Debug messages are parsed as:

<comp> is the component (rpc, sec, cds, dts, dhd, ...)

<level> is a comma-separated list of sub-component levels for each

component.

<where> and parameter are as above.

Each component can have its own entry. Each subcomponent level has

the form “<subcomp>.n”, where “n” is 1 to 9; these are parsed in order,

so put subcomponent wildcard entries ﬁrst.
