TRACE Command
TRACE Command
The TRACE command allows you to capture and store records that you can then
display using the PTrace utility. The TRACE command can request the capture of data
items, alter trace attributes that were set by a previous use of the command, or stop a
previously requested trace operation.
This is a sensitive command.
TRACE PROCESS Command
The TRACE PROCESS command traces a process.
Command Syntax
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
PROCESS process-name
is a valid process name indicating the desired TCP/IP process. If you omit the
object name, SCF uses the assumed object name. For information about the
ASSUME command, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or the
SCF Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs.
STOP
ends the trace operation. A TRACE command must include either the STOP option
or the TO option.
TO
specifies the name of the file into which the results of the trace operation are to be
placed. It is a required option if STOP is not used.
Caution. The trace operation can significantly increase processor use by the TCP/IP process.
To avoid problems with other processes in the processor, HP recommends that you lower the
priority of the TCP/IP process before issuing the TRACE command.
