Getting to know the TTraceConsole application
Overview: Basics
Familiarize yourself with the TTraceConsole application.
This topic gives you basic knowledge needed for other topics. You can look up
particular points in this topic at any time.
What is TTrace?
TTrace stands for Avaya Trace System.
A little background information to start with: in previous versions, every process
created its own output window. The output window appeared in an input prompt
(DOS window).
To overcome the drawbacks of so many confusing and inconvenient output
windows, TTrace was applied for the outputs of processes. In addition, TTrace
makes other functions possible.
The outputs are separated according to originator and are stored in a file system.
Since the file system on a server is a critical resource, it is possible to file the
outputs on a remote computer.
The outputs can be viewed and controlled using an application. Access to the
files containing the records is not restricted in any way.

IP Office Contact Center TTraceConsole About this manual 9
Attributes of TTrace
TTrace offers the following attributes.
Central generation and administration of log files.
Online evaluation of log contents with the option of responding
automatically to certain contents (escalation)
Easy to switch categories on and off
Short explanation for the categories
Low network load due to compact protocol
Simple commands can be sent to the TTrace clients
Categories managed in the component (Library, Executable)
Debuggable
Flexible (can be used without pre-defined instrumentation macros)

10 About this manual IP Office Contact Center TTraceConsole
Block diagram
The following illustration shows a diagram of the components for TTrace.
Components
The following table shows the components and explains their functions.
Component Function
TTrace server The TTrace server is the central component of TTrace.
The TTrace server receives the outputs of the processes
via a socket connection and saves them to the file
system. The rules for automatic output analysis are
executed by the TTrace server.
TtraceConfig The TTraceConfig (tt_config.exe) application is used
to create and modify the TTrace configuration file.
TTraceConsole You can view the working processes online using the
TTraceConsole (tt_console.exe) application. You can
also use TTraceConsole to switch categories on and off
for each component, to send commands to the various
processes and to query version information.
Log files The TTrace server generates a corresponding log file for
every process.
In Version 2.4 and later, an additional service log file is
generated for each process.
TTrace configuration file The TTrace configuration file contains the settings for
the TTrace server. You can change the settings using the
TTraceConfig application.
TTrace adapter With the TTrace adapter, you can connect external
processes to the TTrace server to a limited extent.


IP Office Contact Center TTraceConsole About this manual 11
Starting the TTrace Console application
Before you start the TTraceConsole application, please note the prerequisites
and the recommendation.
Recommendation
Because the TTraceConsole application requires a lot of processor power, we
recommend a separate PC for TTraceConsole.

1. Double-click the file tt_console.exe. The TTraceConsole
application starts.
2. When you start the TTraceConsole application for the first time,
you must enter the host name of the TTrace server.
3. The TTraceConsole application connects to the TTrace server and
shows information on the configured processes.

12 About this manual IP Office Contact Center TTraceConsole
Structure of the TTraceConsole application
The current outputs are viewed with the TTraceConsole application
(tt_console.exe). This application can also be used to switch the categories on
and off and to send individual commands to the processes.
Like other Windows applications, the TTraceConsole application has menus,
commands and a toolbar.
Application icon
The following icon is used for the TTraceConsole application. You will see this
icon in Windows Explorer and in the title bar of the TTraceConsole application.

Title bar
The title bar shows the icon and the name of the application. The title bar also
contains the selected process output with process, host name and process ID.
You can minimize the TTraceConsole application to an icon, select full screen
display, or close it.
Menus
The following illustration shows a diagram of the menus in the TTraceConsole
application.
File Tools View Window Help

Tips and tricks
To make it easier to work with TTrace and the processes, you can use the
applications TTraceDisplay and TTraceLogToZip.
Display of process statuses
To obtain a fast overview of the process statuses, you can use the
TTraceDisplay application. This application gives you fast and clear
information on processes working locally and even those working on other PCs.
A green or red LED indicates the state of a process.
Prerequisite
In order to use the TTraceDisplay application, you must use the Watchdog
application.
Starting the dialog
To start the TTraceDisplay application, proceed as follows.
1. Go to the TTrace folder.
2. Double-click tt_display.exe. The TTraceDisplay application
starts. You must enter a host name and a port.
3. The display shows the process statuses.
Recommendation
We recommend including the TTraceDisplay application in the autostart
function. Then the statuses will be displayed after the PC is started.
Merging log files
Every log file has clear line numbering. These line numbers reflect the sequence
of events in time. It may sometimes be necessary to compare the sequence of
events in different processes. You can use the Logmerger application to do so.
To use the Logmerger application, proceed as follows.
1. Open a command prompt (DOS box).
2. Go to the TTrace folder.
3. Enter logmerger.exe and confirm it with RETURN. A help box
shows the required parameters.

34 Operation IP Office Contact Center TTraceConsole
Archiving log files
TTrace creates log files. You can archive these log files easily using the
TTraceLogToZip application.
To start the TTraceLogToZip application, proceed as follows.
1. Go to the TTrace folder.
2. Double-click tt_log2zip.exe. The TTraceLogToZip application
starts.
3. The TTraceLogToZip application automatically looks for a
working TTrace and displays the log files.
4. You can determine a period, enter a name for the zip file, and select
the files to be archived.
Sending a log file to TTrace server
You can send a log file to the TTrace server with the tt_filedump
(tt_filedump.exe) tool. You can then view the log file with the TTraceConsole
application.
Display help
tt_filedump -tth
Send log file
tt_filedump ttn name -tth=Hostname ttp Port Log file name
The tth und ttp specifications are optional.
