Debugging Options

These options should only be changed if requested by Support.

It may be best to specify these debug options in the command line. if you have set debug=y, the options in effect are printed in the log.

Option | Description
PROCESS_ROWS | Value: Y or N Indicates if dmemail should generate new "email files" on disk from the event record rows in the database. Setting this to N means that new events are not processed, which is helpful if you are working on fixing a problem with existing emails.
DELETE_ROWS | Value: Y or N Indicates if dmemail should delete rows from the database once they have been dealt with. This is essential in a live operation, or the same email will be regenerated repeatedly. However, in testing it may be useful to keep the data for a second test.
DELETE_FILES | Value: Y or N Indicates if dmemail should delete the physical "email files" after posting them. This is essential in a live operation, or the same email will be generated repeatedly. However, in testing it may be useful to avoid deleting the body files, so you can inspect them for testing purposes.
LOGGING | Value: Y or N
LOG_FILE | <filename>
DEBUG | Value: Y or N Add detailed information to output, including the "symbol table" contents. The symbol table dump will contain details of all symbols available for expansion in the template.
