TRACE PROCESS Command for TCP6SAM
TO file-spec
specifies the name of the file into which the results of the trace operation are to be
placed. It is a required option if the STOP option is not used.
BACKUP
If BACKUP is specified, then the command applies to the back up TCP6SAM
process (that is, the trace is stopped or started on the backup). If omitted the
primary is assumed. The TCP6SAM process must be running as a fault-tolerant
process pair if this syntax is used. If the primary TCP6SAM is being traced when a
takeover by the backup TCP6SAM occurs, the trace of the same TCP6SAM
continues, but most events that were being traced prior to the TCP6SAM switch is
no longer traced. This is because the TCP6SAM being traced is no longer the
primary. If neither PRIMARY nor BACKUP is designated, the primary TCP6SAM is
traced.
COUNT count
count is an integer in the range -1 to (32k-1). It specifies the number of trace
records to be captured. If COUNT is not specified (or is specified as -1), records
are accumulated until the trace is stopped.
NOCOLL
Indicates that the trace collector process should not be initiated. The disk file is to
be written to by Guardian. WRAP and NOCOLL cannot be specified at the same
time.
PAGES pages
pages specifies how many extended data segment pages are allocated when
tracing. An integer value in the range 4 to 64 is expected. The default is 64
pages.
RECSIZE size
size is an integer in the range 1024 to 4050. It controls the length of the data in
the trace data records. The trace header not included in the RECSIZE. The default
is 120 bytes. Eight bytes are used for the header, and 120 bytes are trace data.
TO file-spec
file-spec specifies the file to which tracing is to be initiated. The file might be an
unstructured file created by the user previously.
WRAP
specifies that when the trace disk file end-of-file (EOF) is reached, trace data
wraps around to the beginning of the file and overwrites any data that is there.
