Examples of running traces

In a printer definition:

Figure 9 shows how to run a trace of the AFP to PCL transform in the Processing section of a printer definition. Only a portion of the ISPF panel is shown. The trace is written to file /var/Printsrv/xfd/afpxpcl.n.d/myfile.trace.

In the filter-options job attribute:

This example shows how to run a trace by using the lp command.

In this example, printer definition myprinter specifies the AFP to PCL transform (afpxpcl). The transform writes the trace and stderr output to file /var/Printsrv/xfd/afpxpcl.n.d/myfile.trace.

lp -d myprinter -o "filter-options='-T all -F myfile.trace'" myfile.afp

On the transform command:

This example shows how to run a trace on a transform command.

In this example, the AFP to PostScript transform (afpxps) writes a full trace and stderr output for file myfile.afp to file /var/Printsrv/xfd/afpxps.n.d/myfile.trace.

afpxps -d myprinter -T all -F myfile.trace myfile.afp
