Trace (-T or -TRACE) 
Use the Trace adapter command (-T or -TRACE) to produce a diagnostic file in the 
map directory with the default name m4email.mtr. Trace information is recorded 
detailing the adapter activity. 
-TRACE[+][S|V] [full_path] 
Option Description 
+ 
Append trace information to the existing log file. 
S 
Summary mode. Record only minimal information in the 
log file. Default value. 
V 
Verbose mode. Record in the log file all activity 
occurring while the adapter is retrieving data. If not 
specified, summary mode is assumed. 
full_path 
Create a trace file with the specified name in the 
specified directory. By default, the directory is where 
the adapter is located and the file name is 
m4email.mtr. 
Note  Because summary mode is the default, using -TRACES provides the same output 
as –TRACE. 
Type (-TYPE) 
Use the Type adapter command (-TYPE) to specify the MIME content-type for the 
attachment used in the adapter request. The default content-type is 
application/octet-stream. 
-TYPE content_type 
Option Description 
content_type 
Specify the MIME content-type for the attachment used 
in the adapter request. You may use other types, but 
do not use compound types such as multipart. 
Note  This command can only be used with the –ATTACH command in an output card. In 
addition, this command is only supported by the Internet E-mail adapter.
