You can print the communications trace data from two different
sources, depending on how you collected the trace. For IPv4, you can print
from the raw data you collected, or you can print from a stream file in which
you previously dumped the raw data. For IPv6, you can only print from a stream
file.
Note: To print the communications trace data from a stream file, you must
have Java™ (5722JV1)
installed on the system.
This action writes the communications trace data for the specified line
or network interface description to a spooled file or an output file.
Print from raw data collected
If you collected the
raw data without dumping it, follow these steps to print the data:
- At the command line, type PRTCMNTRC.
- For the Configuration object prompt, specify the same line you
specified when you started the trace, such as TRNLINE, and
press Enter.
- For the Type prompt, specify the type of resource, either *LIN or *NWI.
- For the Character code prompt, specify either *EBCDIC or *ASCII.
You should print the data twice, once specifying *EBCDIC and
then specifying *ASCII.
- For the Format TCP/IP data prompt, type *YES,
and press Enter twice.
- Perform steps 1 through 5 again, but specify the other character code.
Print from stream file
If you dumped the data to
a stream file, follow these steps to print the data:
- At the command line, type PRTCMNTRC.
- For the From stream file prompt, specify the path name, such as /mydir/mytraces/trace1,
and press Enter.
- For the Character code prompt, specify *EBCDIC or *ASCII.
You should print the data twice, once specifying *EBCDIC and
then specifying *ASCII.
- Perform steps 1 through 3 again, but specify the other character code.
