Enable packet tracing for dynamic agent using ITA parameter DebugDir

Troubleshooting


Problem

If it will help determine what information is being sent to and from a Dynamic Agent workstation then an undocumented parameter can be set in the JobManager.ini file.

Diagnosing The Problem

Create a directory to dump the snd and rcv files for the Dynamic Agent.  This directory needs to be writable by the user that owns the Dynamic Agent.  For example:

mkdir /tmp/DA_DD
chmod 777 /tmp/DA_DD
Update the JobManager.ini file in the the [ITA] section to include: DebugDir = /tmp/DA_DD
cd <TWAHome>/TWS/ITA/cpa/config
cp -p JobManager.ini JobManager.ini.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
Modify JobManager.ini
From:
[ITA]
name = JobManager
autostart = yes
fname = /opt/TWA/TWS/bin/JobManager
keepalive = yes
status_timeout = 300
check_status = no
commstart = true
display_name = JobManager
version = 1.0
type = optional
min_up_time = 60
To:
[ITA]
name = JobManager
autostart = yes
fname = /opt/TWA/TWS/bin/JobManager
keepalive = yes
status_timeout = 300
check_status = no
commstart = true
display_name = JobManager
version = 1.0
type = optional
min_up_time = 60
DebugDir = /tmp/DA_DD
Restart the Dynamic Agent:

ShutDownLwa; StartUpLwa
*Note: Be careful to monitor the size of the DebugDir directory as there are no controls.
