By default, logging and tracing is set to DEBUG_MIN. Higher levels give you
more detailed information about the installation process. This can be useful for
investigating any problems or errors that occur.
Level name What is logged or traced
DEBUG_MIN Most important method entries, exits and trace messages are
traced
DEBUG_MID Most of the method entries, exits and trace messages are traced
DEBUG_MAX All of the method entries, exits and trace messages are traced
You can set the level of logging and tracing by using the /z flag when you execute
the setup.exe file in the CLI.
v For GUI installation use one of the following commands:
– setup.exe /zDEBUG_MAX
– setup.exe /zDEBUG_MID
– setup.exe /zDEBUG_MIN
v For silent installation use one of the following commands:
– start /wait setup /z"DEBUG_MAX/sfC:\temp\SILENT_SERVER.txt" /s
/f2"C:\temp\silent_setup.log"
– start /wait setup /z"DEBUG_MID/sfC:\temp\SILENT_SERVER.txt" /s
/f2"C:\temp\silent_setup.log"
– start /wait setup /z"DEBUG_MIN/sfC:\temp\SILENT_SERVER.txt" /s
/f2"C:\temp\silent_setup.log"
UNIX installer and configuration logs
Obtain details about the installation (or upgrade) process in the logging and
tracing information. You can set the trace levels.
For tracing and logging Java code (that is run on UNIX systems), this mechanism
enables problem debugging. Two sets of information are created – logs and traces.
Logs (*.log) are globalized and traces (*.trc) are in English. They contain entry and
exit parameters of method and stack traces for exceptions. The amount of
information traced depends on the level of tracing set.
Level name What is logged or traced
LOG_ERR Only exceptions and errors are logged and
traced
LOG_INFO Also log messages are logged and traced -
DEFAULT
DEBUG_MIN Also most important method entries, exits
and trace messages are traced
DEBUG_MID Most of the method entries, exits and trace
messages are traced
DEBUG_MAX All of the method entries, exits and trace
messages are traced
The level can be set in configuration files or by exporting an environment variable
called TRACE_LEVEL with one of the values mentioned above. Configuration of
RAS settings is stored in the following files:
v CH/config/ITMInstallRAS.properties (for installation)
