Changing the trace directory

To change the trace directory when you trace an Infoprint Server daemon, specify the AOPTRACEDIR environment variable in the aopstart EXEC before you restart the daemon. For more information, see the comments in the aopstart EXEC. For information about how to edit the aopstart EXEC, see z/OS Infoprint Server Customization.

To change the trace directory when you trace another Infoprint Server process, such as a command or the SMB support, specify the AOPTRACEDIR environment variable together with the AOPTRACEON variable. For example, if you want to trace the lp command and direct trace files to /mydirectory/trace, enter these z/OS® UNIX commands:

export AOPTRACEDIR=/mydirectory/trace
export AOPTRACEON=1
lp ...

To return to using the default trace directory, /var/Printsrv/trace/, use the z/OS UNIX unset command:

unset AOPTRACEDIR
