Communications Traces are essentially very much akin to tcpdump or Wireshark on common platforms. It's a multi-step, non-interactive process.

  • Start trace. Network traces are always taken from a line description object.

  • Run your commands for generating traffic.
  • Stop trace.

  • Format a report from the trace data. Goes to the standard printer queue.
