PATROL Scheduler PSL Debugger dialog box

Scheduler Daemon Debugger group box

Select the check box next to each selection that you want to turn on. When a debugging selection is turned on, debug data is collected for that option.

Run-Time Checks:

• Arithmetic operations with NULL strings—checks to ensure that numeric variables are explicitly initialized to 0, instead of defaulting to a NULL string.
• Arithmetic operations with non-numeric operands—checks for arithmetic operations that involve non-numeric operands An expression that attempted to numerically add "mary" + "john" would generate this warning.
• Illegal or undefined arithmetic operations—checks for illegal or undefined arithmetic operations An operation that attempted to divide by zero would generate this warning.
• Uninitialized variables—checks for variables that were not explicitly initialized. If you attempt to use a variable before explicitly equating it to a value, this warning is generated.
• PSL Version 2.0 built-in functions—allows you to suppress warning messages that were not suppressible in PSL Version 2.0
• PSL Version 3.0 built-in functions—allows you to perform an error check of built-in functions that were not in PATROL Version 2.0. This option detects the following errors:
  
  passing non-numeric arguments when a numeric value is required
   passing a bad argument
  passing the wrong number of arguments to a printf() function

Traces:

• Function call tracing—reports which functions are called, but does not return information about the arguments. Function call tracing captures both user-defined and built-in functions.
• Function argument tracing—reports the arguments passed to all user-defined or built-in functionsFunction call tracing must also be enabled if you want to use this debugger option.
• Function return value tracing—reports the value returned by calls to all user-defined or built-in functions
• Variable assignment tracing— reports the variable name (if available), and the value assigned to it
• PSL errno tracking—reports any nonzero values stored in the PSL errno variable
• PSL lock tracking—reports the interprocess actions that occur during lock() and unlock() function processingThis option reports back the granting, denying, and releasing of locks.

  Note

  BMC Software recommends enabling PSL Version 2.0 and PSL Version 3.0 built-in functions.
