8.4.7 Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2)

JP1/Base and JP1/IM provide the Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2) to help investigate the cause of errors.

The Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2) outputs trace information from the various functions of JP1/Base and JP1/IM to a single integrated trace log. The collection of trace information for related products in a coherent manner allows you to gain an overview of what is happening throughout the system, which is of particular value in the initial stages of tracking down a problem. As follows are potential applications of the trace library:

  1. Investigating the entire system

    Investigate each host machine based on entries in the Windows event log or UNIX syslog.

  2. Investigating JP1 products in the JP1 series

    Investigate JP1 products by checking the flow of operations in the Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2).

Each of the JP1 product functions make use of an internal log in addition to the integrated trace log. In combination, these logs allow you to investigate problems in detail. To facilitate the collection of this data in the event of a problem, prepare the JP1/Base and JP1/IM data collection tools when you set up the system.

The Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2) is installed when you install JP1/Base or JP1/IM - View, but is also used by JP1/AJS and other Hitachi products. For details about whether a product uses the Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2), see the relevant product manual.
