Use SAS Management Console to Enable Object Spawner Logging
If you want to enable object spawner logging in order to track which clients are
requesting server connections and when the requests are occurring, follow these steps:
1 In SAS Management Console, expand the Server Manager node.
2 Right-click the spawner object (for example, SAS Main - Spawner) and select
Properties.
3 Do the following on the Initialization tab:
a Select the Verbose check box if you want to enable detailed logging.
b In the Log file box, enter a path and filename for the log file.
c Click OK.
4 Restart the object spawner.
Use a telnet Client to Enable Object Spawner Logging
If you want to enable object spawner logging in order to track which clients are
requesting server connections and when the requests are occurring, you can use a telnet
client to connect to the spawner and then issue commands to start and end logging.
This method does not require you to restart the spawner.
Follow these steps:
1 While the object spawner is running, use a telnet client to connect to the
spawner’s operator interface port.
Note: The default operator port number is 8581. To determine the operator
port number that has been defined for your object spawner, select the spawner
object in SAS Management Console (for example, SAS Main - Spawner). The port
number for the Operator protocol connection is displayed in the right pane. R
2 When the connection is established, issue the btrace (begin trace) command by
using the following syntax:
btrace path-filename
where path-filename is the fully qualified path to the file that is to be used for
logging object spawner activity.
3 When you want to discontinue logging, issue the command etrace (end trace).
Adding Options to the Object Spawner Script to Enable Logging
About Logging Options for the Object Spawner Script
To troubleshoot problems with starting the object spawner, connecting to the object
spawner, or connecting to a workspace server or stored process server, you need to log
metadata information. To do so, you must add the following options to the script that is
used to start the object spawner:
