Praesidium IDS error 106

[Rainer von Bongartz]

Has anybody installed IDS/9000 sucessfully and could
give me any hints where to find error codes produces by IDS/9000.

When starting a schedule I always get error 106 and IDS stops.

Error Code: 106 Date: Thu May 31 08:25:34 2001
Praesidium IDS: one of the IDS processes died abnormally: halting schedule execution

I installed IDS and eventually got it to work.
First make sure you have all of the recommeded IDS patches, second make you have the correct java.
IDS would not work for me until I downloaded java from http://www.hp.com/go/java

If you enable debugging when you start the idsagent process, you should be able to gather more details on this problem. You can enable debugging by doing the following:

Edit /etc/opt/ids/ids.cf to add -d to the CMDLINEARGS field for the idssysdsp and idskerndsp, and make sure the CMDLINEARGS field for the correlator is empty (if there is a -d option, delete it).

Then start the idsagent process:
First create a directory for your logs, then
run 'idsagent -d 3 -e 3 -l /var/log/idslog'
for example.

You will see lots of detail about what is happening in these files:

/var/log/idslog
/var/log/idslog_idskerndsp
/var/log/idslog_idssysdsp
/var/log/idslog_idscor
