Check a communications trace

You might want to find out if communications traces currently exist on your server. Use the Check Communications Trace (CHKCMNTRC) command to return the communications trace status for a specific line or network interface description, or for all of the traces of a specific type that exist on the server. The status is returned to you in a message.

To check the status of a communications trace, follow these steps:

  1. At the command line, type CHKCMNTRC.
  2. For the Configuration object prompt, specify the name of the line, such as TRNLINE, or specify*ALL if you want to check the status of all traces for a specific type.
  3. For the Type prompt, specify the type of resource, either *LINor *NWI.
