The MettleCI Command Line Interface has a debugging mode which is enabled by inserting entries in a configuration file:
In the root directory of your CLI installation (e.g. /opt/dm/mci/cli UNIX or C:\MettleCI\cli WINDOWS) you will see the file config.properties.
Update the file to contain the following entries:
# Setting the log level for a specific logger takes the format: # logger.[LOG_NAME]=[LOG_LEVEL] logger.com.datamigrators.mettle.process.CommandRunner=DEBUG logger.com.datamigrators.mettle.dsadmin.commands.DSParamsMergeCommand=DEBUG
These entries will create a log file in a subdirectory of where the CLI command or commands were run from. Typically this will be under your CLI install directory in the sub-directory file log/stdout.log, but it may not be located there if you are not running commands from that location (for example, pipeline agents running CLI commands will rarely be in the CLI directory). In the event of a support request you may be asked to download this file and forwarded it to MettleCI support for analysis.
Available Debug Loggers
Logger | Enhanced Logging Provided |
|---|---|
| Logs the external calls made to DataStage APIs |
| Logs details of differences (sections and entries) calculated by the DSParams Merge Command |
| Logs sections and entries merged by the DSParams Diff Command |
NOTE: by default the log subdirectory is created relative to where you are now, that is, relative to the directory the process is in at the time the command is issued… that may or may not be the installation directory.
