Issue/Introduction

How can I enable Corba debug automatically on startup - so after patching or any restart no on has to log in and update the Runtime debug configuration 
 

CORBAHelper@CORBAHELPER@CORBA Helper@on;
CORBAObjectMonitor@CORBAOBJMON@CORBA Object Monitor@on

These seem to be the settings to be updated - but we cannot determine how to define the Debug level 

Environment

Release : Any

Cause

The debug.module is missing from the web.xml.

Resolution

The CORBA Debug can be enabled by editing the $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/WEB-INF/web.xml and adding this to the debug.modules area:

CORBAHelper@CORBAHELPER@CORBA Helper@on;
CORBAObjectMonitor@CORBAOBJMON@CORBA Object Monitor@on;

Cycle tomcat

Additional Information

The default level of debug is MAX.

In order to change the default debug level to MIN you need to backup and edit the $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/debug/debug.jsp file and search for this below entry(it will be at line number 162):

<% int level = DebugLog.getDebugLevel( );            //DebugLog.getDebugLevel() returns MAX by default.

 

Replace the above line with this:

<% int level = 1;                 // 1 indicates MIN, so we are forcefully setting the debug level to MIN with this change.

 

Save the file. No need of tomcat restart. Just clear the contents of $SPECROOT/tomcat/work directory and relaunch the spectrum webpage and the change will be reflected.
