16.6.2 Debugging Messages<br />
When the ndstrace screen is enabled, the information displayed is based on a default set of filters. If<br />
you want to view more or less than the default, you can manipulate the filters using the debugging<br />
message flags. The debugging messages help you determine the status of <strong>eDirectory</strong> and verify that<br />
everything is working well.<br />

Each <strong>eDirectory</strong> process has a set of debugging messages. To view the debugging messages on a<br />
particular process, use a plus sign (+) and the process name or option. To disable the display of a<br />
process, use a minus sign (-) and the process name or option. The following are some examples:<br />
Message<br />
set ndstrace = +SYNC<br />
set ndstrace = -SYNC<br />
set ndstrace = +SCHEMA<br />
Description<br />
Enables the synchronization messages.<br />
Disables the synchronization messages.<br />
Enables the schema messages.<br />
You can also combine the debugging message flags by using the Boolean operators & (which means<br />
AND) and | (which means OR). The syntax for controlling the debugging messages at the server<br />
console is as follows:<br />
set ndstrace = +trace_flag [trace_flag]<br />
or<br />
set ndstrace = +trace_flag> [&trace_flag]<br />
The following table describes the trace flags for the debugging messages. You can enter<br />
abbreviations for each of the trace flags.<br />
