DS_PXDEBUG

[boxtoby]

Guys,

I am trying to get DS to produce a dump when it aborts.

I understand that by setting DS_PXDEBUG=1 (True) and APT_DUMP_SCORE=True this should happen, but it is not.

Does anyone have experience of doing this that they could pass on?


Thanks,
Bob.

DS_PXDEBUG should write the score to the directory indicated (this is not a True/False environment variable). Try using one or the other. APT_DUMP_SCORE should log an event containing the job score; the first line has the form "This step has N data sets".

Thanks for responding, Ray.

I found out eventually through support that the env var is PX_DEBUG=1

I also discovered that there is a unix core dump file in the project directory in addition to the DS dump.

I now find that it is $DS_PXDEBUG=1, you have to define it as an environment variable and then include it in the job .....

A warning message appears in the log to show it is switched on and logs appeard in <projectdir>/Debugging/<jobname>

My bad. There is another environment variable that can be used to set the pathname of the directory. It's in the Reporting group.
