SNIFFER

Purpose

This report shows information that is written to the SNIFFER data set.

Restriction: Do not use the SNIFFER option when the CTRACE subcommands are used with the IPCS MERGE subcommand. The SNIFFER data file is written over by the multiple CTRACE commands that specify the SNIFFER option.

 1 
The list of device names found in the selected records. Each device is assigned an interface index.
 2 
This record count includes the two header records and one trailer record written to the SNIFFER data set.
 3 
The number of data bytes written to the SNIFFER data set. This is the amount of data to be downloaded.
 4 
The number of abbreviated records. This number is included in  6 .
 5 
Maximum size of the truncated records.
 6 
The number of truncated records. Records were truncated because the size of the packet exceeded the logical record length of the SNIFFER file. Increase the logical record length to prevent the records from being truncated. The maximum logical record length is 32,763 or the size of physical disk blocks, whichever is smaller.
