170.0. "Debugging Console Manager" by ZENDIA::DBIGELOW (Innovate, Integrate, Evaporate) Thu Jan 20 1994 15:41

    To turn on debugging, use the following:
    
  OpenVMS
  =======

	Define/System CONSOLE$DEBUG xx

  OSF/1 & ULTRIX

	setenv CONSOLE_DEBUG xx


  Do the definition BEFORE you start Console Manager (on any
  platform).

  The value of xx will be a string containing one or more
  of the following items (some are self explanatory, the
  others I will indicate what they do)...

	ALL	- this turns on everything, effectively all
		  the ones below

	API	  - debugging for the callable interface
	ENS	  - for ENS
	SHM	  - for the shared memory routines
	C3	  - 
	EVENTLIST - 
	DAEMON	  - Console controller daemon - LOTS
		    of meaningless output, be carefull!!
	EDIT	  - Both editors, doesnt do much except
		    create a backup copy of the database
		    when it is opened.

  Some of these will screw up the user interfaces, e.g. defining
  ALL the doing a connect will cause your screen to display a
  lot of meaningless data and your console output will be lost
  somewhere amongst it.

  Subsequent baselevels, releases of the software will increase
  the size of this list and the amount of data output.

  Please try to keep this internal to digital, I dont want
  lots of SPR's saying performance is lousy because someone
  has turned this stuff on!!

  Oh yeah, the definitions are case sensitive on ALL platforms,
  Uppercase is a must.

Cheers,
Phil
