Working with IDDA Functional Categories

The IDDA logger, gathers information for a wide range of technology within the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture. Depending on the needs of your troubleshooting, you can select different areas to log.

The different areas of technology are referred to as functional categories in the context of the IDDA logger. Each functional category is assigned a bit value (in a 32-bit space). When you enable IDDA logging, you enter specific bit values or the sum of the bit values of different areas.

The IDDA functional categories are:

Bit Value	Functional Category
1	PeopleSoft Internet Architecture
2	Integration Broker
4	Report repository
8	Portal
16	Web server caching
32	File processing (attachments)
64	Authentication
128	Performance Monitor
512	Jolt
1024	Email attachment viewing

The type of information included in the log message differs per category. The log message is free format and can display any information that helps troubleshooting for that particular area, such as error codes, exception messages, and so on.
