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.
strcmntrc cfgobj(trnline) cfgtype(*lin) maxstg(16M) usrdta(*max) trcfull(*stoptrc)
  • Run your commands for generating traffic.
  • Stop trace.
endcmntrc cfgobj(trnline) cfgtype(*lin)
  • Format a report from the trace data. Goes to the standard printer queue.
prtcmntrc cfgobj(trnline) cfgtype(*lin) sltctld(fiona) fmttcp(*no) fmtbcd(*no)
  • Delete now unneeded Trace Data.
dltcmntrc cfgobj(trnline) cfgtype(*lin)
