Turning on the debugging facility for the job flow daemon (JFD) in the UNIX environment


To turn on the debugging facility for the job-flow daemon under UNIX:

  1. Edit your js.conf file (The path of js.conf is JSROOT!/conf):
    • Add comment delimiters around JS_LOG_MASK=LOG_NOTICE.
    • Add the parameter JS_LOG_MASK=LOG_DEBUG to the file.
  2. Restart the job-flow daemon process, as follows. Note: The following jadmin stop and the jadmin start commands must be issued by the root user.
    1. Issue a jadmin stop command.
    2. Then issue a jadmin start command.

Turning on the debugging facility logs many messages and increases your disk usage substantially. Therefore, make sure that you turn off the facility after the debugging process is complete. To turn off the debugging facility:

  1. Edit your js.conf file again:
    1. Restore JS_LOG_MASK=LOG_NOTICE by removing the comment delimiters.
    2. Add comment delimiters around JS_LOG_MASK=LOG_DEBUG.
  2. Restart the job-flow daemon, as follows:
    1. Issue jadmin stop command.
    2. Then issue a jadmin start command.
