Command Reference Guide

Administration Commands
set_cs_trace
computer name with the -n option as you would normally specify a node name. (You cannot issue the command
on the client computer itself.) Alternatively, you can start the client with tracing enabled using the command snap
start -t.
On Windows clients, client-server tracing is controlled by options in the Windows Registry(Win32 clients) or in the
sna.ini file (Win16 clients). For more information, refer to
HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.
2.186.1 Supplied Parameters
Parameter name Type Length Default
[set_cs_trace]
dest_sys character 128 (null string)
trace_flags constant NONE
trace_direction constant CS_BOTH
Supplied parameters are:
dest_sys
The server name for which tracing is required. This name is a string of locally displayable characters.
To manage tracing on messages flowing between the computer to which this command is issued (either the
local computer or one identified by the -n option on the
snapadmin program) and one other node in the
domain, specify the name of the other node; tracing on messages flowing to and from other computers in the
domain will be unchanged. You can issue two set_cs_trace commands to activate tracing between the
same target computer and two different destination servers.
If the server name includes a . (period) character, SNAplus2 assumes that it is a fully-qualified name;
otherwise it performs a DNS lookup to determine the server name.
To manage tracing on messages flowing between the computer to which this command is issued (either the
local computer or one identified by the -n option on the
snapadmin program) and all other nodes in the domain,
do not specify this parameter. The options you specify on this command override any previous settings for
tracing to specific computers (identified by dest_sys on the previous set_cs_trace commands).
trace_flags
The types of tracing required. For more information about these trace types, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2
Diagnostics Guide.
To set tracing for all types use one of the following values:
NONE
Do not activate tracing for any type of message.
ALL
Activate tracing for all types of messages.
To activate tracing on specific message types, select one or more of the following values (combined using a
+ character):
CS_ADMIN_MSG
Trace internal messages relating to client-server topology
CS_DATAGRAM
Trace datagram messages
CS_DATA
Trace data messages
