PTrace Commands
PTrace Commands
This section describes the following PTrace commands that are interpreted specifically
for the OSI/TS subsystem:
•
DETAIL
•
FILTER
•
HEX
•
SELECT
•
STATETABLES
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/TS subsystem-specific information provided here.
For information on troubleshooting problems using PTrace and more extensive PTrace
examples, see Section 4 of the OSI/TS 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 thoroughly, here’s enough
information to get you started.
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 file-name
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/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/SCF pauses while PTrace runs.
