Description

The DAOS manager (daosmgr) regularly performs resync and prune runs to ensure consistency between NSF references (tickets) and the actual .NLO objects. DEBUG_DAOS_SYNC=1 activates detailed trace output for these runs – which NLOs were checked, marked as orphan, or deleted, and which tickets were corrected or relinked.
Indispensable for questions such as Why don't NLOs disappear from the repository? or Why does daosmgr status report more orphan objects than expected?. Level 2 lists every single NLO – use only for targeted diagnosis.

Example configuration

DEBUG_DAOS_SYNC=1
Debug_Outfile=/local/notesdata/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/daos_sync_debug.log

Notes & pitfalls

  • Level 2 produces very large logs (one line per NLO).
  • Takes effect on the next resync or prune run; a server restart is not strictly required.
  • Entries appear in console.log and in Debug_Outfile.
  • Complementary to DAOSMGR_RESYNC_*, DAOS_Defer_Object_Deletion_Days, DAOS_DELETE_TIME.
  • For DAOS inconsistencies, additionally evaluate daosmgr status detail / daosmgr listnlo.
