UNIX Adapter Problems

This section contains information about debugging some common problems with UNIX adapters.

• If you see timeout errors when provisioning to a UNIX resource adapter, you can determine where the provisioning process is failing by tracing the com.waveset.adapter.ScriptedConnection method at Method/Class level 4, which gives you the maximum logging output.

• When becoming root to perform administrative commands, if the resource adapter executes a su root command instead of a su - root command, the environment does not inherit any of the custom environment variables defined for root; including any custom prompts (environment variable of PS1).

  When configuring a UNIX adapter, you can determine which prompt to enter into the Root Shell Prompt field as follows:

  1. Telnet or ssh to the system as the user you specified in the Login User field.

  2. After typing the password and logging in, type su root without a dash and press return.

  3. Type the root password.

  4. The next prompt displayed is the prompt you must enter into the Root Shell Prompt field.
