PTrace Commands
This section describes the following PTrace commands that are interpreted specifically
for the OSI/AS subsystem:
•
DETAIL Command on page 3-8
•
FILTER Command on page 3-8
•
HEX Command on page 3-15
•
SELECT Command on page 3-16
•
STATETABLES Command on page 3-21
Other commands that are generally supported by PTrace, such as the FROM and LOG
commands, are not documented in this manual. The PTrace Reference Manual provides
general information about PTrace commands, and you should be familiar with that
information before reading the OSI/AS subsystem-specific information provided here.
For information on troubleshooting problems using PTrace and for more extensive
PTrace examples, see the OSI/AS Configuration and Management Manual.
Following the PTrace command descriptions, this section also describes the format of
the trace records and provides samples of each type of trace record display.
Running PTrace
Although the PTrace Reference Manual covers this subject in more detail, here is
enough information to get you started quickly.
Starting a Non-Interactive Session
The syntax of the TACL or SCF RUN command for PTrace is
run-option-list
is one or more Guardian run options, as described in the TACL Reference Manual.
Although other run options are allowed, the options that have special significance
for PTrace are as follows:
IN filename
designates the initial source for PTrace command input for a session. If the IN
option is omitted, the input source defaults to the input file for the TACL
process through which PTrace is initiated (usually a terminal).
NOWAIT
means that TACL or SCF does not wait while PTrace runs but returns a
command input prompt after sending the start-up message to PTrace. If you omit
this option, TACL or SCF pauses while PTrace runs.
