Recording and Displaying Trace Data
Recording and Displaying Trace Data
Trace files contain a record of the communications between processes. Each
subsystem determines what information is recorded in its trace files. The type of events
recorded, the amount of detail, and the subsystem-specific parameters may vary.
You generate a trace file using the SCF TRACE command. The trace files that SCF
creates are unstructured and cannot be printed or displayed directly. You use PTrace to
display and examine the trace files. PTrace formats the data stored in the unstructured
trace files for output to terminals, printers, or disk files. Figure 7-1 shows the four
general steps involved in recording and displaying trace data.
