Parallel Library TCP/IP Trace Facility
This section contains the following information:
•
An introduction to the Parallel Library TCP/IPtrace facility
•
A description of the subsystem-specific PTrace commands and any special
considerations for using these commands with the Parallel Library TCP/IP
•
An example of each type of trace record display
Introduction to PTrace
Trace files contain a record of the communications between processes. Each
subsystem determines what information is recorded in its trace files. This information
varies as to the type of events that are recorded, the amount of detail that is included,
and other subsystem-specific attributes.
You can generate a Parallel Library TCP/IP trace file interactively or programmatically.
To start a trace and capture data interactively, you use the SCF TRACE command. To
start a trace and capture data programmatically, you use the Subsystem Programmatic
Interface (SPI). The trace files created with either SCF or SPI are unstructured and
cannot be printed or displayed directly. You use PTrace to display and examine the
trace files. The PTrace program formats the data stored in these unstructured trace
files for output to terminals, printers, or disk files. Figure 5-3 on page 5-156 shows the
four general steps involved in recording and formatting trace data.
