Description

Errors in the free-time lookup (e.g. “recipient shows no availability”) are often caused by missing or outdated busytime.nsf entries. SCHEDULER_DEBUG reveals which servers the scheduler contacts, which responses it receives, and how the cluster buddy system (clubusy.nsf) is accessed.
Indispensable for cross-domain free-time queries or Outlook / iCal sharing.

Example configuration

SCHEDULER_DEBUG=1
Debug_Outfile=/local/notesdata/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/scheduler_debug.log

Notes & pitfalls

  • Pairs with BUSYTIME_LIMIT_SETTINGS, BUSYTIME_TASK_INTERVAL, Calconn logging.
  • Level 2 generates many entries – enable only deliberately during reproduction.
  • For SaaS sharing, additionally use DEBUG_SCHEDIDX=1.
  • Output goes to Debug_Outfile (or the console).
  • Takes effect immediately after set config SCHEDULER_DEBUG=... – no restart needed.
