Step 6. Examining the Trace File

To examine trace records in a trace file created by NonStop NET/MASTER MS, you

must use the PTrace utility distributed with NonStop NET/MASTER MS. If available,

you can use the following command from the Operator Control Services (OCS)

command input line to use this PTrace utility:

OPSYS SEND PTRACE FROM $DATA9.NMTJN.UTR00001

The OPSYS command is described in detail in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS

Command Reference Manual. The PTrace utility and PTrace commands are described in

detail in the PTrace Reference Manual.

For example, you can use the PTrace utility to open a trace file for display by PTrace,

as the following screen shows:

(08:52) --------------------- OPERATOR CONTROL SERVICES ----------------------

START OPSYS SEND PTRACE FROM $DATA9.NMTJN.UTR00001
