Originator IDs for the entities that use unified logging

Many server processes, services, and libraries use unified logging. Also, UNIX and Windows clients use unified logging. An originator identifier (OID) corresponds to a NetBackup process, service, or library.

An OID identifies a process, a service, or a library. A process creates entries in its own log file. The process can call a library that also creates entries in the same file but with an OID unique to the library. Hence, a log file can contain entries with different OIDs. Multiple processes can use the same library, so a library OID can appear in several different log files.

Table: Originator IDs for the server entities that use unified logging lists the NetBackup server and NetBackup client processes, services, and libraries that use unified logging.

Table: Originator IDs for the server entities that use unified logging

Originator ID	Entity	Description
18	nbatd	The authentication service (`nbatd`) is a service (daemon) that verifies the user identity and issues credentials. These credentials are used for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication. The (`nbatd`) directory is created under the `/usr/netbackup/sec/at/bin` directory (UNIX) or the `install_path\NetBackup\sec\at\bin` directory (Windows).
103	pbx_exchange	The Private Branch Exchange (PBX) service provides single-port access to clients outside the firewall that connect to NetBackup services. Service name: VRTSpbx. It writes logs to /opt/VRTSpbx/log (UNIX) or install_path\VxPBX\log (Windows). The PBX product ID is 50936.
111	nbemm	The Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) is a NetBackup service that manages the device and the media information for NetBackup. It runs only on the primary server.
116	nbpem	The NetBackup Policy Execution Manager (`nbpem`) creates policy and client tasks and determines when jobs are due to run. It runs only on the primary server.
117	nbjm	The NetBackup Job Manager (`nbjm`) accepts the jobs that the Policy Execution Manager submits and acquires the necessary resources. It runs only on the primary server.
118	nbrb	The NetBackup Resource Broker (`nbrb`) maintains a cache list of available resources. It uses that list to locate the physical and the logical resources that are required for a backup or a tape restore. It initiates a SQL call to `nbemm` to update the database, and then passes the allocation information to `nbjm`. It runs only on the primary server.
119	bmrd	The NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR) primary server daemon.
121	bmrsavecfg	The BMR Save Configuration is a data collection utility that runs on the NetBackup client, not the server.

156	ace	The NBACE process controls the logging level in the (ACE/TAO) CORBA components for any process that uses a CORBA interface. The default level is 0 (only important messages are logged). This logging is intended for Veritas engineering. If Veritas Technical Support instructs you to increase the logging level, increase the level for originator ID 137 to 4 or higher. Warning: A debug logging level greater than 0 generates large amounts of data.
