Use this dialog box to select program modules and set module-specific priority levels for trace activity. Records will appear on the Operator Console for selected modules that have a priority level less than or equal to the set value. You can access this dialog box by selecting Trace | Operator Console on the BARR/PRINT CHANNEL menu bar.
Performance Tuning: Setting
the priority higher than Informational
can cause performance degradation. Because the Operator Console continues
to process information after you close the utility, you must check the
priority setting before you close. If you experience any problems, we
recommend changing the priority setting to Informational.
Click an option you want to learn more about.
Use this group box to select which program modules will display in the Operator Console. Tracing will occur for the options that display a check mark when the priority level is less than or equal to the selected value.
Most of the modules listed are modules of
the Barr Enterprise Print Server. If you are using BARR/PRINT CHANNEL
with Barr Enterprise Print Server, the changes made here will affect the
tracing in the Barr Enterprise Print Server software. If you are not using
the Barr Enterprise Print Server, simply set the priority for the BARR/PRINT
CHANNEL options and ignore the additional modules listed.
Refer to the Barr Enterprise Print Server help for a description of each
module.

Selects all modules and module-specific options; trace activity will display when the priority level meets or exceeds the level selected.
Disables all modules and module-specific options; no trace activity will display. The module is no longer selected, but the specified priority level is still associated with the module.
Sets the priority level of the selected module. Module activity that meets or exceeds the selected priority level will appear on the console and will be stored to disk. A module's priority level can also be set by right-clicking the module and selecting a priority level from the list. The priority level identifies the type of activity that has occurred in a selected program module. Messages that appear in the Operator Console window may also have an associated icon or color coding. The default setting is Informational. See the following table for a detailed description of the Priority drop-down list.
We recommend setting your priority level to
Informational. Only select a technical
priority level if advised to do so by a Barr Systems support analyst.
