HP UX SNAplus2 manual MSGtracing, file1

Managing SNAplus2 Clients

Managing Win32 Clients

This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the default is NO. If the all_api parameter is set to YES, this parameter is ignored, and MS messages are traced.

MSG_tracing

The MSG_tracing subkey specifies options for tracing on Win32 client 3270 emulation programs. For more information about tracing, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide. The tracing options are specified as follows:

file1

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.

The full path name of the trace file, or of the first trace file if tracing is to two files (see the description of the file2 parameter).

This parameter is required if you want to enable message tracing; you also need to set the fmi parameter.

file2

The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ. The full path name of the second trace file. This parameter is optional. To indicate that tracing is to one file instead of two files, do not include this line.

If both file1 and file2 are specified, tracing is to two files. When the first file reaches the size specified by flip_size, the second file is cleared, and tracing continues to the second file. When this file then reaches the size specified by flip_size, the first file is cleared, and tracing continues to the first file. This ensures that tracing can continue for long periods without using excessive disk space; the maximum space required is approximately twice the value of the flip_size parameter.

flip_size

The Registry data type of this value is REG_DWORD.
