Problem Clarification

 

When troubleshooting Scopia Desktop issues, it is often necessary to gather and provide call logs from the Scopia Desktop client system. 

 

Cause

 

There are several reasons which might require a user to collect and provide Scopia Desktop client call logs. Here are a few examples...

  • Connection issues
  • Audio send/receive issues
  • Video send/receive issues
  • Presentation issues
  • Moderation issues

 

If the issue being investigated can be replicated then it is recommended to set the client call logs to debug level prior to replication and log collection. This can be done on the Windows Client via the client Settings - Advanced tab shown below:

 

 

On a Mac Client the logs are always at maximal, so there is no need change any settings prior to replication.

Installer Logs

If problems with the pkg installation of the Client are being experienced, the following process can be used to gather the pkg installer logs.

 

To collect install logs:
1. Run SCOPIADesktopComponents.pkg
2. Go through all the installation steps until successful/unsuccessful window appears... do not close it.
3. Click on the “Window" button on the top menu bar.

Mac: Web Collaboration Client Logs

 

Also collect the Web Collaboration Client Logs (If files are present. If not, please indicate the files were not present when providing the logs) 

 

 

 

1. Web Collaboration Client (WCC) and Avaya Web Collaboration Plugin logs
   i. Open Terminal application and run echo $TMPDIR command. It will print the temporary directory location for the current user:
      mac-name:~ username$ echo $TMPDIR
      /var/folders/5j/bjq0x2vx3w5f7jgp1q_4wpwh0000gn/T/
   ii. Go to that temporary directory
   iii. Go to awcp directory inside of temporary directory
   iv. Collect all the files in this directory

 


2. To collect Sharing Application logs:
   i. Go to /Users/<your username>/Library/Application\Support/Avaya/AWCP
   ii. Collect all the files with log string in the filename (e.g tunnel.log.*, loader.log.*, aac_jre_plugin.log) in this directory

 

 

 

An alternative way to collect the Web Collaboration client logs if the above way doesn't work:

 

 

1. Click on the Launchpad on the dock bar and search for terminal, click and launch the terminal
2. On the terminal prompt type (copy&paste) the following commands:

cd  $TMPDIR/awcp/
cp *.* /Users/$USER/Downloads/.
cd  /Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/Avaya/AWCP
cp *.* /Users/$USER/Downloads/.

3. Launch the finder and go to the Downloads directory – zip and send the files copied (Date/Time of the files to collect should match the time you typed the above commands).
