Enabling and Disabling Tracing
Notice:
Tracing can use a lot of disk space and can severely impact performance. It should only be used when resolving a problem. The default is no tracing.
Tracing writes special debugging information to text files. This information is useful when troubleshooting the system. When tracing is on, information regarding the Teradata QS operation is saved to files. Depending on where the client software is installed, these files are typically located at c:\schedlog. The administrator or technical support personnel can troubleshoot problems by viewing these files.
Depending on the problem that is trying to be resolved, tracing can be turned on selectively for each of the three Teradata QS components. Tracing can be turned on or off before or after the components are started. This eliminates the need to stop and restart Teradata QS components in order to change the tracing setting.
