Gathering documentation

Because the purpose of the APPN route selection trace is to capture documentation to solve APPN routing problems, use the following procedure to gather the documentation.

Procedure

Perform the following procedure to gather the documentation:

  1. Start the APPN route selection trace with the MODIFY TRACE,TYPE=ROUTE command.
  2. Re-create the problem of the incorrect APPN route being taken.
  3. Stop the APPN route selection trace with the MODIFY NOTRACE,TYPE=ROUTE command.
  4. Dump VTAM® to capture the information in the APPN route selection trace.
  5. Free the route selection trace table storage with the MODIFY NOTRACE,TYPE=ROUTE,FREE=YES.
