Sometimes we will need to get a log file to determine what is going on with OiDView. Since this is a windows application, we will need to modify a windows environment variable in order to activate the debugging process. To learn how to create environment variables, please see the “How To” post for environment variables or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519

1. Create the BS_DEBUG environment variable

In the Environment variables section, create a USER variable BS_DEBUG with the following value:ON

  BS_DEBUG=ON

2. Restart the OidView application

Remember that you must restart the application. Only then does it take effect. Now, make the problem happen. At this point, a log should have been created in the OidView main directory, named OidView.debug.log.

3. Turn off debugging

To turn off debugging, simply remove the BS_DEBUG USER variable that you created or set the value to OFF

  BS_DEBUG=OFF
