## HD Tracing

The HD (hard disk) tracing functionality should only be used by experienced technicians. It enables the user to use scripts to generate logs on specific messages and events in the BusinessPhone.

Normal users of the BMS should not use this feature unless required by support technicians.

Note

To use the HD Tracing function (TBU tracing), the server must be connected to an active BusinessPhone system.

The main frame shows in four parts, which are divided by horizontal lines:

- the board (TBU) the system will use for tracing, which is identified by it‘s slot number, or the text „HD trace card(s) not found!“ (this board will not be shown in the Hardware survey
- scripts: The button Show currently defined script to load and display the currently defined script on the HD, and a button labeled Edit (new) script to create a new script or change the existing one.
- trace logs:

- the button labeled Trace files on server switches to a display of all HD-trace logs already downloaded from the HD.
- The button labeled Get last trace file from HD offers a convenient way to load and display the log with the highest number, i.e. the last trace log written.
- For direct access to the trace log files residing on the boards internal hard disk the button List of all trace files on HD will return a formatted list. The list is formatted into blocks of 16 files in 4 columns. Every filename is a link, which, on clicking, will load and display the decoded contents of that file. The download form the boards HD will take some minutes, though. The user should not switch to other tasks within the BMS in the meantime!

- The are buttons for starting a trace are labeled Start trace and Start trace with Stop on Suffix Key, simply starting a trace or starting a trace which will stop at the occurrence of a predefined event, respectively. In case of a trace already running, both buttons will be removed and a Stop trace button is shown instead. For required statement see Start trace with Stop on Suffix Key
