Use this information to isolate problems with ODBC.
Communications
Use the cwbping program to verify
the connection between the Linux® workstations and the iSeries™ server,
and to verify the host servers are started.
Tracing and Logging
Once you verify your connection
to the server, there see the following trace files for problem isolation:
- SQL log. The unixODBC sql.log will show the input and output parameters
for ODBC API calls made. The sql.log is activated using the unixODBC ODBCConfig
program. From the Advanced tab, you can enable sql tracing and configure the
location of the log file.
- History log. The history log will show high-level communication,
security and data conversion error messages. The History log is activated
using the cwbtrc program.
- Detail trace. The detail trace will show low-level driver information
and is intended for use in reporting problems to IBM®. Detail trace is activated using the
cwbtrc program.
- Service information collection tool. The service information collection
tool is intended for use in reporting problems to IBM. The service information collection
tool is activated using the cwbmedic program.
