Starting an external and internal trace of all FSAs at IP PrintWay initialization, with prompting

Do these steps to start an external trace of all FSAs in an FSS at IP PrintWay™ initialization and prompt the operator for tracing parameters. This example assumes that the FSA names are PRT001 and PRT002, and the FSS name is FSS1.

1. In the IP PrintWay FSS definition in the Printer Inventory, select the Trace prompt field. Select the None option in the Trace mode field. You can specify the type of trace you want with the MVS™ MODIFY command before the trace starts.

2. Start GTF as described in Starting the Generalized Trace Facility (GTF).

3. In response to message ANFM020A, enter this MODIFY command at the console if you want a full external trace. You cannot specify the name of an FSA in the MODIFY command because no FSAs have been started yet.

   MODIFY FSS1,TRACEON,,MODE=FULL

   Respond again to message ANFM020A with this command:

   MODIFY FSS1,U

   Tracing begins for each FSA in the FSS when the FSA starts. If you want to start an FSA but not trace it, enter the MODIFY command to stop tracing that FSA after the FSA starts.

   _______________________________________________________

To stop tracing:

1. Enter the MVS MODIFY operator command for the FSS and again for each FSA that has been started. The first MODIFY command shown makes sure that tracing does not start for any FSAs that are started after this time.

   MODIFY FSS1,TRACEOFF
   MODIFY FSS1,TRACEOFF,PRT001
   MODIFY FSS1,TRACEOFF,PRT002

2. Stop GTF by entering: P GTF
