SMB Shares

DFS Deactivation (If Not Used)​

Set the following parameter:

# jcifs.smb.client.dfs.disabled = false

to:

# jcifs.smb.client.dfs.disabled = true

If jCifs detects a DFS system and attempts to connect, it may result in repeated timeouts. If you are certain that Orchestra does not communicate with a DFS globally, it is advisable to deactivate this parameter to turn off DFS.

This step helps eliminate a potential source of errors within SMB communication.

SMB Logging​

The parameter jcifs.util.loglevel in the file jcifs.properties should be set to the value "3". You can locate the configuration file at:

<tomcat>/webapps/orchestra/WEB-INF/classes/config/jcifs.properties
------------------------------------=
# JCIFS properties for Orchestra
# See http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/api/overview-summary.html#scp
# for a detailed description of all properties
# An integer specifying the verbosity of log messages. Higher values are more verbose
# 0 - No log messages are printed -- not even critical exceptions.
# 1 - The default level. Only critical messages are logged.
# 2 - Heightened log messages suitable for logging while under load.
# 3 - Almost everything.
# >3 - Debugging only.
jcifs.util.loglevel=3
------------------------------------=

The jCifs library generates detailed output via System.err.

In the designer environment, this output can be found in the command line or console.

During runtime, the logs will be recorded in Tomcat logs. On Windows, a file named <tomcat>-stderr.<date>aa.log will be created. On Linux, information will be available in the catalina.out log.

The output should resemble the following format:
