Enabling detailed debug logging
The NetBackup Administration Console is a distributed application that allows the administration of remote NetBackup servers. All administration is accomplished through the application server of the NetBackup Administration Console. This application server is made up of an authentication service and a user service.
The logon request from the logon dialog box is sent to the authentication service for validation. The user name and password have to be valid in the Windows/UNIX authentication files and process.
After validation, the authentication service starts a user service under the user's account. Thereafter, all NetBackup administrative tasks are performed through an instance of the user service. Additional user service processes are initiated to process requests from the console.
On both UNIX and Windows, the authentication service is the bpjava-msvc application. The user service is the bpjava-susvc or bpjava-usvc application. To enable detailed debug logging, you must first create logging directories for these applications.
