CS_tracing

The CS_tracing subkey specifies options for client/server tracing (tracing on messages between the client and CS/AIX servers). For more information about tracing, refer to IBM Communications Server for Data Center Deployment on AIX Diagnostics Guide. The tracing options are specified as follows:

file1

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

The full path name of the trace file, or of the first trace file if tracing is to two files (see the description of the file2 parameter).

This parameter is required if you want to enable client/server tracing; you also need to set the trace_flags parameter.

file2

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

The full path name of the second trace file. This parameter is optional; to indicate that tracing is to one file instead of two files, do not include this line.

If both file1 and file2 are specified, tracing is to two files. When the first file reaches the size specified by the flip_size parameter, the second file is cleared, and tracing continues to the second file. When this file then reaches the size specified by flip_size, the first file is cleared, and tracing continues to the first file. This ensures that tracing can continue for long periods without using excessive disk space; the maximum space required is approximately twice the value of the flip_size parameter.

flip_size

The Registry data type of this value is REG_DWORD.

The maximum size of the trace file. If two file names are specified, tracing switches between the two files when the current file reaches this size. If only one file name is specified, this parameter is ignored; the file size is not limited.

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is 1000000 (bytes).

admin_msg

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

To trace internal messages relating to client/server topology, set this parameter to YES; otherwise, set it to NO.

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is NO.

datagram

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

To trace datagram messages, set this parameter to YES; otherwise, set it to NO.

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is NO.

data

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

To trace data messages, set this parameter to YES; otherwise, set it to NO.

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is NO.

send

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

To trace all data messages sent from the client to the server, set this parameter to YES; otherwise, set it to NO.

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is NO.

receive

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

To trace all data messages received by the client from the server, set this parameter to YES; otherwise, set it to NO.

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is NO.
