- Run the Verify Connection command from the Objects subsystem's
context menu.
- Turn on additional logging:

log. This will ensure that your system does not experience the performance
cost of the more detailed logging.

- The DDS parser's DdsModel%n.log file
(where %n is replaced with 1, 2, 3, etc. as the log fills
