You can specify several different nodes in your selection criteria.
Processing records based on device name or network address is
recommended when preparing complex trace reports.
If you are using VTAM® network-qualified
names buffer trace data, the GTF file can contain data from more than
one VTAM application. You
can request trace data from a selected network by specifying the qualifier
for that network on either the NODE or BFFRNODE parameter.
The device addresses for which trace records are processed are
the output from the configuration report program (CRP). See NCP,
SSP, and EP Diagnosis Guide, LY43-0033 for more information
about the CRP.
The node parameters are not valid for VIT; ACF/TAP ignores any
value supplied.
All node selection processing is bypassed under the following
circumstances:
IXPRT=YES
An INDEX parameter has been specified, and a GPT record is being
processed.
During node processing, ACF/TAP processes the START and END parameters
using a count value. ACF/TAP processes the node parameters while
processing the STIME and ETIME parameters. Therefore, it is possible
to select n records from a particular node
occurring between certain time limits.
