Activating NCPROUTE global traces

The NCPROUTE global traces are all controlled by parameters on PARMS= in the PROC statement of the NCPROUTE cataloged procedure. (Global tracing means that all NCP clients are traced.)

For example: 
//NCPROUT PROC MODULE=NCPROUTE,PARMS='/-t -t'
Tip: These parameters are also valid when starting the NCPROUTE server with the START command.
The NCPROUTE parameters that control global tracing are:
-t
Activates global tracing of actions for all NCP clients.
-t -t
Activates global tracing of packets for all NCP clients. NCPROUTE tracing can be started and stopped using the MODIFY command. For more information, see z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands.
-tq
Deactivates tracing at all levels. This parameter suppresses tracing for all NCP clients and overrides the trace settings on the GATEWAY statements in the NCPROUTE GATEWAYS data set.
-dp
Activates global tracing of data packets coming in and out of NCPROUTE. The data is displayed in data format.
-dq
Deactivates global tracing of data packets coming in and out of NCPROUTE.
Restrictions:
  • A slash (/) must precede the first parameter.
  • Each parameter must be separated by a blank.
  • Mixed case is allowed for the parameters.
  • The parameters for the NCPROUTE procedure are case-sensitive.
  • There are no third- or fourth-level global tracing options like those on the GATEWAY statements in the NCPROUTE GATEWAYS data set. The system uses the higher of the two settings for a specific NCP client.
  • The data packets trace option is not available for selective tracing.

The parameters described her include only those that activate tracing. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for more information about all of the NCPROUTE parameters.
