Subsystem control
The traceson command can be used to turn on, and the traceoff command can be used to turn off, tracing of a System Resource Controller (SRC) resource such as a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
Use the traceson command to turn on tracing of a System Resource Controller (SRC) resource such as a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
Use the tracesoff command to turn off tracing of a System Resource Controller (SRC) resource such as a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
The traceson and traceoff commands can be used to remotely turn on or turn off tracing on a specific host. See the srcmstr command for the configuration requirements for supporting remote SRC requests.
Prerequisites
- To turn the tracing of an SRC resource either on or off , the SRC must be running.
- The resource you want to trace must not use the signals communications method.
- The resource you want to trace must be programmed to respond to the trace request.
