Environment variables for tracing

These environment variables control tracing:

AOPTRACEON

If this environment variable is set to any value, Infoprint Server traces processing. This environment variable is optional. Specify it only if instructed to do so by IBM® service personnel.

To trace Infoprint Server commands, such as the pidu command, set this environment variable in the /etc/profile file. To trace Infoprint Server daemons, set this environment variable in either the aopstart EXEC or in the STDENV data set.

To turn tracing off, restart Infoprint Server without specifying this environment variable.

Default: The environment variable is not set.

Examples:

AOPTRACEON=1
AOPTRACEON=YES

AOPTRACEDIR

The name of the trace directory. This environment variable is optional. Specify it only if you set the AOPTRACEON environment variable and the default trace directory is not suitable. The AOPADMIN group must have permission to write to the specified trace directory.

Set this environment variable in the aopstart EXEC.

Default: base-directory/trace

If you use the default base directory, the default is /var/Printsrv/trace.

Example: AOPTRACEDIR=/mydirectory/trace
