Monitoring Procedures


The log files, found in the /users/unison/log directory, are a useful starting point for troubleshooting problems related to CorporateTime operations or performance.

Viewing log files

To view a CorporateTime Server log file go to the /users/unison/log/ directory and open the file using a text editor.
Table 9.1 · CorporateTime Server log files
Filename Description
lck.log Log file for CorporateTime Lock Manager
eng.log Log file for CorporateTime Engine
snc.log Log file for CorporateTime Synchronous Network Connections
cws.log Log file for CorporateTime Corporate-Wide Services A more verbose style of logging can be enabled whereby each transaction performed by the CWS service is logged. This will cause the cws.log file to grow rapidly and should only be used for a short time for testing or debugging purposes. To enable this feature, set the trace parameter in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini to TRUE.
das.log Log file for CorporateTime Directory Access Service
caladmin.log Log file for CorporateTime Server Administrator
stats.log Log file for tracking CorporateTime Server user sessions with respect to CPU consumption, user wait times, and network traffic. Session statistics are output once a client session is terminated normally. To enable CorporateTime Server statistics logging, set the stats parameter in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file to TRUE. When used, the size of the stats.log file should be closely monitored since it grows quickly. The default value is FALSE.

act.log Log file for tracking CorporateTime Server usage and monitoring possible security violations. To enable logging of CorporateTime Server sign-ons and sign-offs, the activity parameter in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file must be set to TRUE. When used, the size of the act.log file should be closely monitored since it can easily become large.
dbv.log Database operation file. Created only if there is a problem.

Interpreting log files

Much of the content of the CorporateTime Server log files is self-explanatory, namely the sections referring to the status of the various daemons / servers. If you are uncertain about the content of a log file, contact technical support for further assistance.
