NETWORK | (Default) Trace messages at the network level. NSTRC records |
| messages at the LI software level as they enter or leave the |
| node. In addition, NSTRC records any Probe, Socket Registry, |
| NFT, TCP, and IP control messages (control messages are |
| messages sent by the protocol modules as part of the protocol |
| and do not contain user data), and HDLC/Multidrop •Link Up" |
| messages. You can use FMTRC to format the IP or LI header |
| (OSI layer |
| Router/1000). FMTRC does not format higherlevel protocol |
| headers, such as TCP or PXP unless the nice format option is |
| used. Useful for analyzing network problems. |
SOCKET | Trace messages at the socket level. NSTRC records messages as |
| they are sent and received on user sockets. (You can select |
| messages according to Global Socket Descriptors when you |
| format the trace file via FMTRC.) Useful for debugging user |
| applications. |
BOTH | Trace messages at both the network and socket level. |
| Default: NETWORK. |
BRTRC Scheduling
[RU,]BRTRC
Caution | If you abort NSTRC instead of terminating it with BRTRC, |
| FMTRC will not be able to format the trace file. |

FMTRC Scheduling
[RU,]FMTRC[,inputDevice][,rawTraceFile][,formattedDevice] [,titleField][,logDevice]
inputDevice | Device (answer file name or interactive device LU) that |
| provides input for FMTRC dialogue. |
| Default: local LU 1 (scheduling terminal). |
rawTraceFile | The raw trace file for FMTRC to format. This must be a disk |
| file; if NSTRC posted trace messages to a tape, you must |
| restore the tape's contents to a disk file before formatting it. |
| NSTRC must not have the file open for tracing. |
| Default: NS_TRACE.TRC. |
formattedDevice | Device (file name or device LU) to which FMTRC outputs the |
| formatted trace file. |
| Default: If you specified a file for rawTraceFile, FMTRC |
| takes that file name, strips any existing type extension, and adds |
| the type extension FMT to form the name for the formatted |
| (output) file. If you did not specify a rawTraceFile, the |
| default is the file NS_TRACE.FMT. |
