Commands
NETCONTROL TRACEON and TRACEOFF
NOTE Tracing to tape is no longer available on MPE/iX.
filename (Optional). The name of the file to
which trace data will be written. The
default is to automatically create the
next highest numbered
NMTCnnnn.PUB.SYS file, where nnnn is
a 4-digit number, for each TRACEON
command entered.
If you wish several TRACEON commands
to trace to the same file, you must
specify that filename using this
parameter. You may choose an
automatically created file for this
purpose.
recsize (Optional). Logical record size of the
records in the file to which trace data
will be written, in number of 16-bit
words. This is an internal limit for the
tracing facility; the physical record size
is always 128. Valid range is
5<=recsize<=1024. Default is 128.
filesize (Optional). Maximum number of
records in the tracefile. When this limit
is reached, the file “wraps”, and tracing
continues. The valid range is
32<=filesize<=32000. Default is 1024.
TRACEOFF Disables previously enabled tracing for one entity,
which is specified by the NI, PROT, NET, or GATE
keywords, or for the control process if none of those
keywords are specified. If tracing is not enabled for the
specified entity, a “NOT TRACING” error will occur.
NI=niname Specifies the name of a configured network interface
the trace will apply to. Enter any valid NI name from
the NMMGR Network Interface screen which is not a
gateway half. If the specified NI was not previously
configured and started, a “NOT STARTED” error will
occur.
Specifying NI=niname without the ;PROT= option, or
NET=niname, starts tracing for the network interface
itself.
