In order to troubleshoot BVMS systems with SDK components support needs the following information and logging.
Please prove the following information to support:
Symptom specific Information
Problem Description
SMA validity
How to retrieve the Hardware ID for BVMS and check the Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) status?
BVMS stand alone or appliance
Detailed description of the expected behavior of the SDK functionality.
Detailed description of the actual behavior of the SDK functionality.
SDK Components
What type is the standalone SDK application (based on ClientSDK, ServerSDK, or CameoSDK) and on which machine is it running?
Are there additionally client scripts, server scripts or workstation startup scripts?
SDK Interactions
Do SDK components interact with remote Operator Clients?
Do SDK components interact with the Operator Client UI?
Do SDK components control devices?
How often are client scripts triggered?
How often are scripts triggered by BVMS event?
Environment
Which shared resources are accessed by SDK actions? (Dome cameras, AMG, Operator Client UI)
Do SDK components interact with an unreliable environment? (Unstable network, offline devices, offline PCs, etc.)
Do SDK components properly handle offline situations? (offline devices, configuration changes, etc.)
Logging Information
Please provide the Scriplet and/or Log files
The optimal approach is to provide both the scriplet and logging.
