Agent Builder Trace logging Trace logging is built into the software to assist IBM Software Support in gathering information to determine why a problem is occurring. Note: Trace logs contain detailed internal information and require an internal understanding. These logs are for use only by IBM Software Support. If you encounter an issue, IBM Software Support might request that you obtain the trace logs, to review the information. Here Trace logging is introduced with an explanation on how to locate the appropriate files. Trace logging captures information about the operating environment when the code fails to operate as intended. The IBM Agent Builder supports tracing through the Java™ Logging (JLog) Toolkit. The trace logger is configurable through the Eclipse plug-in preferences. For more information about configuration of the Trace logging, see (“Logging configuration” on page 5). Agent Builder Trace logging overview Trace logs capture information about the operating environment when component code fails to operate as intended. These logs are in the English language only. IBM Software Support uses the information that is captured by trace loggers to trace a problem to its source or to determine why an error occurred. Generally, this information is not enabled by default, but logging can be enabled without stopping the application. Trace log location Trace logging is kept in a configurable number of rotating log files. The log file names follow the format traceKQZ.log, traceKQZ1.log... where traceKQZ.log is the most recent log file. You can retrieve trace logs in the following location: workspace_directory/.metadata/tivoli/KQZ/logs Where: workspace_directory Identifies the workspace directory that you specified when you initially ran the Agent Builder. To save the log data, you must select the Enable Trace logging to files option on the Output page of the Tivoli Monitoring Agent Builder preferences. For information about the Output page, see (“Customize trace file settings” on page 6). Trace log format The trace log record format is as follows: [Date]-Level-Server-Thread-FileName.Method-LogText Exception(StackTrace) Where: © Copyright IBM Corp. 2010, 2015 3 Date Time the log was produced specified in milliseconds, since January 1st 1970, for example, 1015343592000. Server host name on which the program is running. Level The level of detail the trace represents, which can be one of the following options: ERROR error message. WARN Warning. INFO Informational message. MIN The minimum level of tracing provides some information about the program state with only a minimal affect on the performance of the program. MID The medium level of tracing follows the paths of some high-level APIs and their parameters. MAX The maximum level of tracing follows the paths of most of the code and provide a detailed program flow. This level includes minimum and medium levels of tracing as well. For more information about setting these levels, see (“Configuration by using the IBM Java Logging Toolkit” on page 5). FileName Name of the file or class to which the trace refers. Method The method in the class to which the trace refers. Thread Thread to which the trace refers. Thread element that refers to the operating system-specific notion of a thread. LogText A description of the error Exception Exception element depends upon the specific language or platform. For Java, it is a stack trace. Trace log example The following text shows an example of a trace that is recorded in the trace log: [2007-08-17T17:50:17.527-04:00] - MIN - myhost - main - AgentXMLDocument.parseAgent - begin parsing document Where: 2007-08-17 Specifies the date that the log entry was produced. 17:50:17.527 Specifies the time that the log entry was produced. 4 Agent Builder Troubleshooting Guide -04:00 Specifies the Coordinated Universal Time offset. MIN Specifies the level of detail the trace entry represents, in this case, minimum debug level. myhost Specifies the host name of the system that produced the trace entry. main Specifies name of the thread to which the trace entry refers. AgentXMLDocument Specifies name of the file or class to which the trace refers. parseAgent Specifies the method in the class to which the trace refers. begin parsing document Specifies the description of the condition or error. Logging configuration You can configure logging on components of the Tivoli Monitoring Agent Builder. About this task IBM Agent Builder logging options can be configured after installation. If you are experiencing problems, IBM Software Support might request that you configure logging and tracing information. The following steps explain how to configure the product to provide logging data. Configuration by using the IBM Java Logging Toolkit You can configure trace logs by using the IBM Java Logging Toolkit to set the trace level for the appropriate component of the Tivoli Monitoring Agent Builder. About this task You can do all logging configuration in the IBM Java Logging Toolkit. Access the Eclipse preference window by using the following steps: Procedure 1. Select Window > Preferences to display the Window toolbar menu. 2. Click IBM Java Logging Toolkit to display the IBM Java Logging Toolkit window. The Logger Configuration table displays the trace configuration for the following components: JLog IBM Tivoli Monitoring Logger Trace Logger KQZGeneratorTrace IBM Tivoli Monitoring Generator Trace Logger KQZTrace IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent Builder Trace Logger The trace level for each component can be set independently to one of the following values. Selecting a trace level causes trace entries of that level and all higher levels to be included in the log file. v Error - error messages. v Warning - Warnings. v Information - Informational messages. Chapter 2. Agent Builder Trace logging 5 v Minimum - The Minimum level of tracing provides some information about the program state with only a minimal affect on the performance of the program. v Medium - The Medium level of tracing follows the paths of some high-level APIs and their parameters. v Maximum - The Maximum level of tracing follows the paths of most of the code and provide a detailed program flow. Logging for each component can also be enabled or disabled by selecting On or Off for Logging. 3. By expanding the IBM Java Logging Toolkit, you can set the following Trace Attributes for each component: v Log file Directory v Maximum number of revolving trace files v Maximum size of each trace file (in KB) v Enable trace logging to files v Enable trace logging to console v Restore Defaults Customize trace file settings Use the appropriate output windows to customize the trace file settings. About this task Access the Eclipse output page by doing the following steps: Procedure 1. Click Window to display the Window toolbar menu. 2. Click Preferences to display the Preferences window. 3. Click the plus sign next to the IBM Java Logging Toolkit to display the output windows. 4. Click the appropriate output window to display the output settings for that component. The window displays the following information: Log file directory Specifies the location of the log file directory. Maximum number of revolving trace files Specifies the number of trace files that are used and reused to store the trace data. Maximum size of each trace file (in Kilobytes) Specifies the maximum size in KB for each of the revolving trace files. Enable trace logging to files Check this box to store the trace log data. Enable logging to console Check this box to send logging information to a development console. Note: If you enable this option, you must restart the IBM Agent Builder as described in the following procedure: a. Close the IBM Agent Builder. b. Modify the install_dir/agentbuilder.ini file. v On Windows systems, change install_dir/_jre/jre/bin/javaw.exe to install_dir/_jre/jre/bin/java.exe. v On Linux or AIX® systems, change install_dir/_jre/jre/bin/javaw to install_dir/_jre/jre/bin/java.

  • Conversion from Decimal There Is a Simple Method That Allows Conversions from the Decimal to a Target Number System
    APPENDICES A Number Systems This appendix introduces background material on various number systems and representations. We start the appendix with a discussion of various number systems, including the binary and hexadecimal systems. When we use multiple number systems, we need to convert numbers from system to another We present details on how such number conversions are done. We then give details on integer representations. We cover both unsigned and signed integer representations. We close the appendix with a discussion of the floating-point numbers. Positional Number Systems The number systems that we discuss here are based on positional number systems. The decimal number system that we are already familiar with is an example of a positional number system. In contrast, the Roman numeral system is not a positional number system. Every positional number system has a radix or base, and an alphabet. The base is a positive number. For example, the decimal system is a base-10 system. The number of symbols in the alphabet is equal to the base of the number system. The alphabet of the decimal system is 0 through 9, a total of 10 symbols or digits. In this appendix, we discuss four number systems that are relevant in the context of computer systems and programming. These are the decimal (base-10), binary (base-2), octal (base-8), and hexadecimal (base-16) number systems. Our intention in including the familiar decimal system is to use it to explain some fundamental concepts of positional number systems. Computers internally use the binary system. The remaining two number systems—octal and hexadecimal—are used mainly for convenience to write a binary number even though they are number systems on their own.

  • Overview of ASCII/RS-485 Time Protocol
    TN-108 Sep-2017 TECHNICAL NOTE Overview of ASCII/RS-485 Time Protocol Introduction Summary ASCII/RS-485 is based on a simple time protocol originally defined by Arbiter Some power meters use an ASCII character string Systems called “ASCII + QUAL.” An ASCII string is communicated over RS-485 and transmitted over RS-485 for time synchronization. consists of an on-time mark (OTM) transmitted once per second, followed by an ASCII representation of the date/time and time quality. This document describes the protocol, and gives ex- amples of how Cyber Sciences products are used to This protocol is used by some power meters for time synchronization via a spare synchronize devices require this protocol, including RS-485 data communications port. Devices which support ASCII/RS-485 include: TM PM8000 and ION7550/7650 meters by Schneider PowerLogic PM8000 and ION7550/7650 meters by Schneider Electric and 9410 and Electric and 9410 and 9510/9610 meters by Siemens. 9510/9610 meters by Siemens. CyTimeTM SER-3200/2408 Sequence of Events Recorders can generate ASCII/RS-485 to synchronize these power meters, greatly simplifying time sync design. PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION ASCII Time Code ASCII/RS-485 is the name for an ASCII-based time protocol distributed over a stan- dard RS-485 2-wire network. The ASCII code (called “ASCII + QUAL”) consists of an on-time mark (OTM) once per second followed by ASCII representation of the date/ time and time quality as follows: <soh>ddd:hh:mm:ssQ<cr><lf> where: <soh> = hex 01 (start of header = OTM) ddd:hh:mm:ss = date/time (day of the year, hour, min, sec) Q = time quality flag (space = locked, ? = unknown) <cr> = hex 0d (carriage return code) <lf> = hex 0a (line feed code) Note: As shown above, the ASCII code includes an ambiguity of one year, and so the device must first be set to the correct year through other means.

  • Title of the Paper (14Pt
    České vysoké učení technické v Praze Fakulta dopravní 1. listopadu 2018 Praha, Česká republika Aircraft Contrail Research Sébastien Láni, Tereza Topkováii, Iveta Kameníkováiii Abstrakt: Kondenzační stopa je umělý oblak mající podobu pruhu, který se tvoří za letadly. Její životnost může dosahovat několika hodin, přičemž se může dále rozšiřovat a přejít v indukovanou cirrovitou oblačnost. Kondenzační stopy způsobují pozitivní radiační působení a přispívají tak k oteplování atmosféry. Tento článek popisuje vznik kondenzačních stop, jejich dopad na podnebí a výzkum zaměřený na kondenzační stopy, který probíhá na Ústavu letecké dopravy, Fakultě dopravní, Českém vysokém učení technickém v Praze. Výzkum je založený na pozorování kondenzačních stop a využití zpráv ADS- B, zpráv módu S a výsledků aerologického měření. Cílem je zjistit, jak často se kondenzační stopy tvoří, jaká je jich životnost a další vlastnosti v závislosti na meteorologických podmínkách. Klíčová slova: letadlo, kondenzační stopa, emise, podnebí, radiační působení, ADS-B, Mód S, BDS registr, aerologické měření Abstract: Contrails are line-shaped clouds formed behind aircraft which may persist for hours while growing to resemble cirrus clouds. Contrails cause positive radiative forcing which tends to warm the atmosphere. This paper describes the contrail formation, climate effect and contrail research carried out by the Department of Air Transport, Faculty of Transportation Sciences, Czech Technical University in Prague. The research is based on contrail observation, ADS-B messages, Mode S messages and aerological measurement. The aim of the research is to identify the frequency of contrail occurrence, their lifetime and other properties and compare them to meteorological conditions. Keywords: aircraft, contrail, emission, climate, radiative forcing, ADS-B, Mode S, BDS register, aerological measurement 1.
