STRACE Command Examples

TRACE ON

This activates all trace major codes (except major code 1, which is for IBM use only).
STRACE ON /S=4
This will allocate a trace buffer of 4 MB per processor and turn software tracing on.
STRACE OFF
This will turn tracing off. Once tracing is off, the user may then process the trace data contained in the trace buffer without having additional data written to the buffer.
STRACE GET /R=MYTRACE.RAW
This will extract the trace buffer into the file MYTRACE.RAW.
STRACE POST /R=MYTRACE.RAW /O=E:\TRACE\MYTRACE.OUT
This will process the RAW file MYTRACE.RAW and generate an ASCII version in E:\TRACE\MYTRACE.OUT.
STRACE RESET
This will turn tracing off and free any STRACE buffers.
TRACE OFF
This will deactivate all trace major codes.
