OpenLink ODBC Drivers running in debug mode ...
Posted in 1998
This posting is in response to the posting below, requesting information on how to enable Server side debugging of the OpenLink ODBC Drivers The OpenLink ODBC Scan utility can be used for tracing all ODBC calls being passed to the OpenLink or any other ODBC driver on the client machine, and is available from our WEB site (www.openlinksw.com) when you download our Windows ODBC client software. On the server the OpenLink Request Broker (oplrqb) can be started in debug mode to log all connections requests received from an OpenLink Client, and can be useful when debugging connection problems. Typically the Broker is started with the following options to provide the most debugging information: oplrqb +loglevel 7 +logfile <filename> Hope this helps.
