Once DSTrace has been enabled (set to ON), the following switches can be used to display Directory Services activity that is being tracked:

Example:

          SET DSTrace = +[switch] to enable the switch
          SET DSTrace = -[switch] to disable the switch
        

Note: The following are supported in DS build 310. Some may not be supported in prior releases.

AUDIT	+AUDIT shows auditing events.
AUTHEN	+AUTHEN show connection authentication activity.
BACKLINK	+BACKLINK shows relationship of external references to objects.
BLINK	+BLINK shows relationship of external references to objects.
COLL	+COLL shows collision events (objects which already exist).
COLLISION	+COLLISION shows collision events (objects which already exist).
DEBUG	+DEBUG shows all low level DS activity. (Note: Not recommended for use on a production Server. May cause the Server to enter the debugger.)
DSA	+DSA shows low level DS Agent activity.
DSAGENT	+DSAGENT shows low level DS Agent activity.
E	+E shows errors which occur during DS processing.
EMU	+EMU shows Bindery Emulation activity.
ERR	+ERR shows errors which occur during DS processing.
ERRET	(Note: The state of this switch is currently unknown.)
ERROR	+ERROR shows errors which occur during DS processing.
FRAG	+FRAG shows fragmented packet handling.
I	+I inspects the activity associated with the cleanup processes.
IN	+IN shows inbound synchronization activity.
INIT	+INIT shows initialization events.
INSPECTOR	+INSPECTOR inspects the activity associated with the cleanup processes.
J	+J shows cleanup process activity.
JANITOR	+JANITOR shows cleanup process activity.
LIMBER	+LIMBER shows Server connectivity checks.
LOCKING	+LOCKING shows low level NDS file lock activity. (Note: Generates a LOT of messages which are mostly of little value other than to show NDS file I/O activity.)
LOCKS	+LOCKS shows low level NDS file lock activity. (Note: Generates a LOT of messages which are mostly of little value other than to show NDS file I/O activity.)
MERGE	+MERGE show Directory Services merge activity.
MISC	+MISC shows miscellaneous (non-switch related) events.
PART	+PART show partition activity.
RECMAN	+RECMAN shows Record Manager (low level DIB) access.
REPAIR	+REPAIR shows DSREPAIR activity.
RESNAME	+RESNAME resolves object names in logged events.
RN	+RN resolves object names in logged events.
S	+S shows synchronization traffic, include the object information.
SAP	+SAP shows Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) activity.
SCHEMA	+SCHEMA shows schema synchronization activity.
SKULKER	+SKULKER shows synchronization traffic, include the object information.
STREAMS	+STREAMS shows streams handling of events.
SYNC	+SYNC shows synchronization traffic, include the object information.
TIMEVECTOR	+TIMEVECTOR displays comparisons of the Partition Time Vectors.
TV	+TV displays comparisons of the Partition Time Vectors.
VC	+VC shows Virtual Client (Server-to-Server Authenticated connection) activity.
VCLIENT	+VCLIENT shows Virtual Client (Server-to-Server Authenticated connection) activity.

Once DSTrace has been enabled (set to ON), the following switches can be used to force Directory Services events:

Example:

          SET DSTrace = [switch] - to force the activity to occur
        

Note: The following are supported in DS build 310. Some may not be supported in prior releases.

*.	Reload the DS.NLM (re-initialize the database).
*B	Immediate activation of the Backlink process (external reference resolution).
*F	Immediate activation of the janitor cleanup process.
*G	Discontinue synchronization attempt with current Server and change the Server status to Down.
*H	Immediate activation of the synchronization process.
*L	Immediate activation of the Server connectivity checking process.
*R	Reset the DS Trace File (only valid if SET TTF = ON).
*SS	Schedule an immediate synchronization of the schema.
*U	Forces the Directory Services state to the UP (or active) state.
