Trace-File Header Record

The remainder of this section describes the displays of the trace-file header record and

of each type of SNAX trace record.

Trace-File Header Record

The display of the trace-file header record shows identification information specific to

the trace file, as in the following example:

Trace of:

is the process name and the device type and subtype of the service manager or

line-handler process that was traced. Device type and subtypes for SNAX are as

shown in Table 5-1.

Ptrace Data File:

is the name of the file containing the trace data.

Trace started:

is the date and time the trace was started.

Note. The formatted trace files created for you by the SCF TRACE command may not be

displayed exactly as documented in this manual.

This manual covers both SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN subsystems. The example traces may

have been derived from either product.Additionally, the formats of individual trace records are

subject to change with product SPRs or with new software RVUs. Records (or fields within

records) may be added or deleted as necessary.

Trace records provide a mix of internal and user information and reflect your network

configuration and the type of applications you are running.

Trace records are used for product development and maintenance as well as for tracking down

protocol problems in user applications.

PTrace might not be able to display all data (for example, a complete DSM command buffer) if

the data is longer than the trace record size specified by the TRACE command. The trace

record size is shown in the trace-file header record display. Guidelines for the trace record

size (RECSIZE option) are provided in the TRACE command description in Section 13, SCF

Commands for SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN.
