| Trigger on VLOG | start up a watch for up to 3 VLOGS to end the trace |
Stop or Dump trace
Use the *STOP function to stop the traces. Use *DUMP to dump the traces. You can use *DUMP without using *STOP first as that will stop and then dump the traces.
When using *DUMP, there are 2 options on where to store the data.
- *PF for storing the data in a physical file. After the data is copied to the physical file, the file will be saved as a save file in the select library as IBMDATAxxx where xxx is a number.
- *IFS for storing the data in the IFS. After the data is copied to the IFS, the directory will be zipped into file /tmp/IBMDATAxxx.zip where xxx is a number
Delete trace
Use the *DELETE to stop (if it was running) and delete the traces in the buffer.
Step 3 Sending data to IBM
QMGTOOLS: FTP Data to IBM
QMGTOOLS: Sending Data to IBM Manually
