Configuration profile trace

You can use the ITRACE statement in the PROFILE.TCPIP data set to activate TCP/IP run-time tracing for configuration, the TCP/IP SNMP subagent, commands, and the autolog subtask. ITRACE should only be set at the direction of an IBM® Support Center representative.

Following are descriptions of the ITRACE parameters:

ON

Select ON to establish run-time tracing. ITRACE ON commands are cumulative until an ITRACE OFF is issued.

OFF

Select OFF to terminate run-time tracing.

CONFig

Turn internal trace for configuration ON or OFF.

SUBAgent

Turn internal trace for TCP/IP SNMP subagent ON or OFF.

COMMAND

Turn internal trace for command ON or OFF.

AUTODAEMON

Turn internal trace for the autolog subtask ON or OFF.

level

Indicates the tracing level to be established. Levels are as follows:

Levels for CONFIG
1: ITRACE for all of config
2: General level of tracing for all of config
3: Tracing for configuration set commands
4: Tracing for configuration get commands
5: Tracing for syslog calls issued by config
100: Tracing for the parser
200: Tracing for scanner
300: Tracing for mainloop
400: Tracing for commands

Levels for SUBAGENT
1: General subagent tracing
2: General subagent tracing, plus DPI traces
3: General subagent tracing, plus extended storage dump traces
4: All trace levels

Level for COMMAND
1: ITRACE for all commands

Following is an example illustrating how to use the ITRACE command:

ITRACE ON CONFIG 3
ITRACE OFF SUBAGENT

Trace output is sent to the following locations:

Subagent trace output is directed to the syslog daemon. This daemon is configured by the /etc/syslog.conf file and must be active.
AUTOLOG trace output goes to ALGPRINT.
Trace output for other components goes to SYSPRINT.
