Help for IP Trace Service Point Summary Display
This help page explains the fields of the IP Trace page that displays the service points or stacks, and the TCP/IP procedure names and domains defined with the TCP390 definition in the DSIPARM member FKXCFG01 configuration file.
You can use IP Trace to perform diagnostic traces to help resolve TCP/IP problems. Two types of traces are available, component trace (CTRACE) and packet trace (PKTRACE). Component trace is used to trace data processing problems between the client and the server. Packet trace is used for IP data flow problems and enables you to copy IP packets as they enter or leave TCP/IP.
An external writer must be established before using IP Trace. The trace data is written to the writer. Refer to z/OS MVS Diagnosis Tools and Service Aids for more information about creating source JCL for an external writer, or for more details about trace functions.
Service Point/Stack Name
Contains the service points for which TCP/IP services will be traced. These are defined in the DSIPARM member FKXCFG01 configuration file. Click on the selectable service point to view the service point IP trace summary.
Proc Name
Displays the member name of the catalogued procedure used to start the TCP/IP address space. This is defined in FKXCFG01.
NetView Domain
Displays the NetView domain to which the trace command processing will be sent. This is defined in FKXCFG01.
CTrace Status
Displays the status of the TCP/IP procedure for component SYSTCPIP. The status can be one of the following:
Component trace is turned ON | |
Component trace is either MIN (Minimum) or OFF | |
There is no established session with the associated remote domain | |
Time has expired in collecting trace status |
PKTrace Status
Displays the status of TCP/IP procedure for component SYSTCPDA. The status can be one of the following:
Packet trace is turned ON | |
Packet trace is either MIN (Minimum) or OFF | |
There is no established session with the associated remote domain | |
Time has expired in collecting trace status |
