A full trace of the application call stack for all threads and the values of the registers.
Caution:
for each call stack, the Debug information includes the contents of variables which may contain some
sensitive information, for example alias values and IP addresses. If your deployment is such that this information could

Checking the Effect of a Pattern
The Check pattern tool (Maintenance > Tools > Check pattern) lets you test whether a pattern or transform you
intend to configure on the Expressway will have the expected result.
intend to configure on the Expressway will have the expected result.
Patterns can be used when configuring:
■
■
to filter searches based on the alias being searched for, and to transform an alias before the
search is sent to a zone
To use this tool:
1.
Enter an Alias against which you want to test the transform.
2.
In the Pattern section, enter the combination of Pattern type and Pattern behavior for the Pattern string
being tested.

If you select a Pattern behavior of Replace, you also need to enter a Replace string.

Locating an Alias
The Locate tool (Maintenance > Tools > Locate) lets you test whether the Expressway can find an endpoint identified
by the given alias, within the specified number of "hops", without actually placing a call to that endpoint.

3.
Select the Protocol used to initiate the search, either H.323 or SIP. The search may be interworked during the
search process, but the Expressway always uses the native protocol first to search those target zones and
policy services associated with search rules at the same priority, before searching those zones again using the
alternative protocol.

Select the Source from which to simulate the search request.

Optionally, you can enter a Source alias. Typically, this is only relevant if the routing process uses CPL that
has rules dependent on the source alias. (If no value is specified a default alias of
