Enabling detailed debug logging for the NetBackup Administration Console

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 console, which has an authentication service and a user service. The logon request is sent to the authentication service. If the user name and password are valid, 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.

Table: Enabling detailed debug logging describes how to create detailed debug logging for the NetBackup Administration Console.

Table: Enabling detailed debug logging

Step

Description

Step 1

On the NetBackup client or server, create the following directories:

  • bpjava-msvc (authentication service)

  • bpjava-susvc (the user service on the server)

  • bpjava-usvc (the user service on the client)

Create the directories in the following locations:

  • install_path\NetBackup\logs (Windows)

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/logs (UNIX)

Step 2

Add the following line to the Debug.properties file:

debugMask=0x00040000

On UNIX, change the file on the UNIX machine where you run the jnbSA or jbpSA commands.

If you use the NetBackup Remote Administration Console, change the file in the following locations:

/usr/openv/java

install_path\VERITAS\java

Step 3

If you use the Remote Administration Console, edit the nbjava.bat file to redirect output to a file:

install_path\VERITAS\java\nbjava.bat
