As you use the debugging messages in ndstrace, you will find that some of the trace flags are more<br />
useful than others. One of the favorite ndstrace settings of <strong>Novell</strong> Support is actually a shortcut:<br />
set ndstrace = A81164B91<br />
This setting enables a group of debugging messages.<br />
11.6.3 Background Processes<br />
In addition to the debugging messages, which help you check the status of <strong>eDirectory</strong>, there is a set<br />
of commands that force the <strong>eDirectory</strong> background processes to run. To force the background<br />
process to run, place an asterisk (*) before the command. For example:<br />
set ndstrace = *H<br />
You can also change the status, timing, and control for a few of the background processes. To change<br />
these values, place an exclamation point (!) before the command and enter a new parameter or value.<br />
For example:<br />
set ndstrace = !H 15 (parameter_value_in_minutes)<br />
The following is the syntax for each statement controlling the background processes of <strong>eDirectory</strong>:<br />
set ndstrace = *trace_flag [parameter]<br />
or<br />
set ndstrace = !trace_flag [parameter]<br />
The following table lists the trace flags for the background processes, any required parameters, and<br />
the process the trace flags will display.<br />
Trace Flag Parameters Description<br />
*A None Resets the address cache on the source server.<br />
*AD None Disables the address cache on the source server.<br />
*AE None Enables the address cache on the source server.<br />
