Tip of the Day: Using the R:BASE Engine Debug Setting
Product.......: R:BASE X.5 and R:BASE X.5 Enterprise (Version 10.5)
Build.........: 10.5.3.20119 or higher
Sections......: Debugging
Keywords......: RDEBUG, configuration, debug, logging
Did you know that you can use the R:BASE Engine's RDEBUG setting
to create a log file to help understand possible issues when running
R:BASE commands and using ODBC with foreign data sources?
The log file will contain Engine Functions as R:BASE establishes and
frees connections, executes SQL statements, retrieves data and values,
controls transactions, and handles data and values.
To enable debugging, add the RDEBUG setting to your R:BASE product
configuration file, which creates a log file of the R:BASE Engine
Functions.
The following provides the supported use of the RDEBUG setting in
the configuration file:
01. - Debugging is off
RDEBUG OFF
02. - Debugging is on, where a log file is created in C:\
RDEBUG ON
03. - Debugging is on with a file path and name
RDEBUG ON C:\Temp\RDEBUG\rbengine.log
The rbengine.log file is created in the C:\Temp\RDEBUG\ folder.
After the DEBUG setting has been turned ON or OFF, R:BASE must be
restarted in order for the setting to be recognized.
Important: The debug setting and logging adds overhead to the R:BASE
engine and performance will decrease. After logging has been captured
for a desired event where an issue occurs, the debug setting should
be set to OFF in the configuration file.
When RDEBUG is OFF the log file may remain in the configuration file.
RDEBUG OFF C:\Temp\RDEBUG\rbengine.log
The default location for the R:BASE Version 10.5 configuration files
is in "C:\Users\Public\RBTI", with RBENGINEX5.CFG used for R:BASE X.5
and RBENGINEX5E.CFG used for R:BASE X.5 Enterprise.
It is very helpful to see how the R:BASE Engine performs for complex
operations, and will allow you to find additional information when
errors occur in processing with both native and foreign data sources!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
