Starting an IP PrintWay basic mode trace

You can request internal and external tracing by using one of these methods:
  • Specify a trace option in the IP PrintWay FSS and FSA definitions in the Printer Inventory:
    • You can specify a trace option in the FSS definition to trace the IP PrintWay FSS and all FSAs in the FSS.
    • You can specify a trace option in the FSA definition to trace one IP PrintWay FSA.
    After you specify a trace option in an FSS or FSA definition, you must start (or restart) the IP PrintWay FSS or FSA for the trace option to take effect. Tracing starts when the FSS or FSA is initialized.
  • Enter the MVS™ MODIFY command:
    • You can start and stop tracing all FSAs in an IP PrintWay FSS. The FSS must be started, but the FSAs that you want to trace must not be running.
    • You can start and stop tracing one IP PrintWay FSA. The FSA you want to trace must be running.
Before you start any IP PrintWay external trace, you must start the Generalized Trace Facility (GTF).
Tip: To trace the IP PrintWay FSS, including the queue manager function in the FSS, you must request a trace in the IP PrintWay FSS definition in the Printer Inventory, and you must not select the Trace prompt feature in the FSS definition.
