Other Operating System Information

• AIX 4.2.1

DataMgr version 3.6.2 will be the last version to support IRIX 6.2.
Debugging Information
Debugging for DataMgr 3.6.2 has changed.
If the problem is reproducible, additional logging information can be collected by stopping DataMgr and
updating the system logging parameters. To do this, edit the
SL_TAC_MASK and update the variable setting to YYYYYYYYY. Restart DataMgr and recreate the sequence of
events that lead up to the problem.
By turning on all log levels of the SL_TAC_MASK full trace logging for DataMgr is enables. All messages
will be stored in the DataMgr system log file. This information often aids the support organization in
determining the exact nature of the problem. After the data is collected, reset the SL_TAC_MASK setting to
the previous value and cycle DataMgr.
