RIBO creates too many files

[Former Member]

Hello, We are trying to trace some unexpected errors in our application/database with RIBO. The problem is that RIBO creates a lot of ".tds" files. How can I force RIBO to generate the data to one file only?

Thanks a lot,

As Mark mentioned, the RIBO tool along with the jConnect driver are both supplied by the ASE team. Having said that, unless you are specifically trying to track down a TDS protocol error, you can probably get away without using RIBO entirely. Starting the server with the -z option will force the server to provide a full TDS trace (across all connections) in the console log. You could therefore use the -z combined with the -o option to get a full TDS trace in one file. Again though, while the console TDS trace is very complete and usable, it might not help if you are specifically trying to track down a TDS protocol error.

This is not the correct forum to ask this question. This forum is used to ask questions about SQL Anywhere. I would suggest that you direct this question to one of the ASE news forums. See here for a list of forums.

Hi Mark,

Sorry for not mentioned it in my previous note but we use SQL Anywhere. As far as i know RIBO support SQL Anywhere.

if you still think i should direct this question to ASE forum I'll do it.

Thanks

As far as I know the RIBO tool is written and supported by the ASE team, and therefore you will likely get a quicker answer from them.

BTW, what API are you using? If you are using jConnect to connect to SQL Anywhere then I would suggest you try our iAnywhere/SQL Anywhere JDBC driver instead since you will get better performance.
