The full path name of the trace file, or of the first trace file if tracing is to two files (see the description of
the
file2 parameter).
This parameter is required if you want to enable message tracing; you also need to set the
fmi parameter.
file2
The full path name of the second trace file. This parameter is optional. To indicate that tracing is to one file
instead of two files, do not include this line.
If both file1 and file2 are specified, tracing is to two files. When the first file reaches the size specified by
flip_size, the second file is cleared, and tracing continues to the second file. When this file then reaches the
size specified by flip_size, the first file is cleared, and tracing continues to the first file. This ensures that
tracing can continue for long periods without using excessive disk space; the maximum space required is
approximately twice the value of the flip_size parameter.
flip_size
The maximum size of the trace file. If two file names are specified, tracing switches between the two files
when the current file reaches this size. If only one file name is specified, this parameter is ignored; the file
size is not limited.
This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is
100000 (bytes).
truncation_length
The maximum length, in bytes, of the information written to the trace file for each message. If a message is
longer than this, SNAplus2 writes only the start of the message to the trace file, and discards the data beyond
truncation_length. This enables you to record the most important information for each message but avoid
filling up the file with long messages.
This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, SNAplus2 does not truncate messages (all the data from
each message is written to the file).
fmi
To trace 3270 messages, set this parameter to YES; otherwise, set it to NO. This parameter is optional. If it
is not specified, the default is NO.
[CS_tracing]
The [CS_tracing] section of the file specifies options for client/server tracing (tracing on messages between the
client and SNAplus2 servers). For more information about tracing, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.
The tracing options are specified as follows:
file1
The full path name of the trace file, or of the first trace file if tracing is to two files (see the description of
the file2 parameter).
This parameter is required if you want to enable client/server tracing; you also need to set the trace_flags
parameter.
file2
The full path name of the second trace file. This parameter is optional; to indicate that tracing is to one file
instead of two files, do not include this line.
If both file1 and file2 are specified, tracing is to two files. When the first file reaches the size specified by
the flip_size parameter, the second file is cleared, and tracing continues to the second file. When this file
then reaches the size specified by flip_size, the first file is cleared, and tracing continues to the first file. This
ensures that tracing can continue for long periods without using excessive disk space; the maximum space
required is approximately twice the value of the flip_size parameter.
