RE: Comm Trace

For TCP/IP apps I have found the TRCTCPAPP command very useful.  In older OS
versions you could trace TCP/IP problems by using the "flight recorders",
but they were replaced by the TRCTCPAPP command.

I have used the comms trace many times to debug comms applications - mainly
appc/sna and bsc. Very good & usefull. However I tried using it last week to
debug a TCP/IP session that was transitting SSL data and the trace data was
garbage. I quite expected that, but I am interested if it can be done, maybe
I have the wrong settings.

I would also add that with V5R1 you can also specify the target IP address
to trace.

RE: Comm Trace






You initiate a comm trace for all protocols the same, look in the system
service tools. (STRSST).  You trace a comm line resource name, and that line
can have multiple protocols running on it (ie TCP/IP and SNA over Ethernet
can run on the same ethernet comm resource).  When you print the trace, you
can specify what protocols you want printed. A comm trace is pretty close to
putting a data scope on a line.  It traces all control characters including
protocol control characters, framing info, etc. cjg

HI What is a comm trace? Is it done the same on all types of protocols, or
different depending. Tanks, Rob
