Getting data files
After you notify Technical Support experts about your issue, they may ask you to send trace files for application components and/or system statistics files from the SVM.
For diagnostics of application operation, Technical Support experts may ask you to perform the following actions:
Turn on Integration Server debug mode. A special configuration file setting is used to turn on debug mode. To receive more detailed information about the operation of the Integration Server, you may need to configure additional application settings in the configuration file.
Start installation of Kaspersky Security components (Kaspersky Security administration plug-in, Integration Server, and Integration Server Console) in silent mode with special command line settings.
Make changes to the application configuration files and apply those changes.
For detailed information necessary to perform the listed actions, you can contact Technical Support experts.
