PSM_DEBUG_LOG configuration parameter

Use the PSM_DEBUG_LOG configuration parameter to specify the location of the debug log to which the HCL OneDB™ Primary Storage Manager writes debugging messages if you do not want the log information included in the ON-Bar debug log.

onconfig.std value: Not set. The default value is used.
default value: The value of the BAR_DEBUG_LOG configuration parameter is used.
takes effect: When the onpsm utility starts; When you reset the value dynamically in your onconfig file by running the onmode -wf command.; When you reset the value in memory by running the onmode -wm command.

Usage

If the PSM_DEBUG_LOG configuration parameter is not set, the OneDB Primary Storage Manager puts activity information in the directory specified with the BAR_DEBUG_LOG configuration parameter. To clearly distinguish ON-Bar and OneDB Primary Storage Manager activity information, use the PSM_DEBUG_LOG to specify a different location for the OneDB Primary Storage Manager activity log.

For security reasons, set the PSM_DEBUG_LOG configuration parameter to a directory with restricted permissions, such as the $INFORMIXDIR directory.

If the directory that holds the debug file becomes too large, you can erase the file. You need to retain information only if there are problems that need to be debugged.

You can also use the PSM_DEBUG_LOG environment variable to specify the location of the debug log for your environment, for example, for a single session.
