 » Index

The set_trace_type command specifies tracing options for SNAplus2 kernel components. You can use this command to specify the state of tracing (on or off) at all interfaces or to turn tracing on or off at specific interfaces (leaving tracing at other interfaces unchanged). For more information about tracing options, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.

This command does not control DLC line tracing. To control DLC line tracing use the add_dlc_trace command.

This command must be issued to a running node.

Supplied Parameters

Parameter name           Type           Length     Default
[set_trace_type]
trace_flags constant NONE
truncation_length decimal 1024
init_flags constant YES
set_flags constant YES

Supplied parameters are:

trace_flags

The types of tracing required. For more information about these trace types, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.

If init_flags is set to YES, select the values corresponding to the interfaces where you want tracing to be active, and do not select the values corresponding to the interfaces where you want it to be inactive. If init_flags is set to NO, select the values corresponding to the interfaces where you want to change the state of tracing.

To set tracing for all types of messages use one of the following values:

NONE

Do not activate tracing for any type of messages.

ALL

Activate tracing for all types of messages.

To set tracing for a specific interface, use one or more of the following values (combined using + characters).

APPC

Trace APPC messages

FM

Trace FM messages

LUA

Trace LUA messages

NOF

Trace NOF messages

MS

Trace MS messages

PV

Trace APPC and CPI-C messages for back-level computers

DLPI

Trace DLPI messages

SDLC

Trace SDLC messages (note that this option also provides additional detail in SDLC line tracing).

NLI

Trace NLI messages

NDLC

Trace node to DLC messages

NODE

Trace node internal messages

SLIM

Trace messages sent between servers in a client-server system

DGRM

Trace internal control messages between SNAplus2 components

truncation_length

The maximum length, in bytes, of the information written to the trace file for each message. If a message is longer than this value, SNAplus2 writes only the start of the message to the trace file and discards the data beyond truncation_length. Truncation enables you to record the most important information for each message but avoid filling up the file with long messages.

To specify no truncation (all the data from each message is written to the file), set this parameter to 0.

init_flags

Specifies whether to initialize tracing (define the tracing state at all interfaces) or to change the state of tracing at one or more interfaces (leaving the others unchanged). Possible values are:

YES

Initialize tracing. The trace_flags parameter defines the required state of tracing at all interfaces.

NO

Change the state of tracing. The trace_flags parameter defines the interfaces where tracing is to be activated or deactivated; other interfaces will not be affected.

set_flags

If init_flags is set to NO, this parameter specifies whether to activate or deactivate tracing at the requested interfaces. Possible values are:

YES

Activate tracing at the interfaces specified by the trace_flags parameter.

NO

Deactivate tracing at the interfaces specified by the trace_flags parameter.

If init_flags is set to YES, this parameter is ignored.

Returned Parameters

No parameters are returned by SNAplus2 when this command executes successfully.

Error Return Codes

If the command cannot be executed, SNAplus2 returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a secondary return code to provide specific details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.

Parameter Check

If the command does not execute because of a parameter error, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

primary_rc

PARAMETER_CHECK

secondary_rc
INVALID_TRUNC_LEN

The truncation_length parameter specified a length of less than 256 bytes.

State Check

No specific state errors, other than those listed in Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” occur for this command.

Other Conditions

Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” lists combinations of primary and secondary return codes that are common to all commands.
