Issue/Introduction

When working with external CORBA applications that need to connect to the SpectroSERVER, there may be a need to enable CORBA debugging on the Spectrum Server side.

Resolution

For verbose CORBA debug, edit the $SPECROOT/.corbarc file and the $SPECROOT/.jcorbarc file and scroll to the bottom.  Uncomment the last 6 lines:

 

# Uncomment the following lines to enable corba logging.

# Note this could take 500meg of disk space( 10 files x 50meg each )

#vbroker.log.enable=true

#vbroker.log.default.appenders=rolling

#vbroker.log.default.appender.rolling.fileName=vbroker_debug.log

#vbroker.log.default.appender.rolling.layoutType=full

#vbroker.log.default.appender.rolling.maxFileSize=50

#vbroker.log.default.appender.rolling.maxBackupIndex=10 

 

You must then stop the SpectroSERVER and processd.  Start processd, then the SpectroSERVER.  There will be rolling CORBA debug log files named vbroker_debug.log in the following directories:

$SPECROOT/LS
$SPECROOT/SS
$SPECROOT/SS/DDM
$SPECROOT/bin/VBNS
