TRACE Command
To examine trace files, use the formatter available with the PTrace program. The
PTrace program is described in Section 6, Using PTrace.
The TRACE command has the following object-spec:
file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
object-spec
designates the objects to be traced. If object-spec is omitted, the assumed object
is traced.
STOP
ends the trace operation. A TRACE command must include either the STOP option
or the TO option.
COUNT
specifies the number of trace records to be captured. count is an integer in the
range -1 through 32767. If you omit this option or if count equals -1, records are
accumulated until you use the STOP option.
NOCOLL
prevents the initiation of the trace collector process.
Caution. The trace operation can significantly increase CPU use by the Telserv process. To
avoid problems with other processes in the CPU, you should lower the priority of the Telserv
process before you issue the TRACE command.
