Dumping a communications trace

 

Dumping the data to a stream file offers several advantages. Consider these advantages when deciding whether to use this function.

If you are using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), dump the trace data into a stream file by following these steps. However, if you are using IPv4, this is an optional part of the communications trace process. To dump a communications trace, follow these steps:

  1. Create a directory, such as mydir. See the CRTDIR (Create Directory) command description in the Control Language (CL) topic, to create a directory.

  2. At the command line, type DMPCMNTRC.

  3. For the Configuration object prompt, specify the same line you specified when you started the trace, such as TRNLINE.

  4. For the Type prompt, specify the type of resource, either *LIN or *NWI.

  5. For the To stream file prompt, specify the path name, such as /mydir/mytraces/trace1.
