Additional Troubleshooting Tips

PCREVIEW Command

Use the PCREVIEW commands to easily view historical network transactions. You can select various filters to display only the records from the log file you are interested in. From this screen you can request details of the information.

TRAPOD File

When testing network requests through SafeNet/400 you can see each transaction being written to the TRAPOD file in library PCSECLIB.

Use the OS/400 DSPPFM (Display Physical File Member) command to look at the contents of the TRAPOD file. Type B on the Control line and press ENTER. This will take you directly to the bottom of the file and enable you to see the last request recorded in the file.

As a network request is processed by SafeNet/400, a record is written to the TRAPOD file. The name of the SafeNet/400 program that processed the request is in position 1-10; the status of the request is in position 11 (1= Accepted, all others are rejections); the user profile is in position 12- 21.

The rest of the record contains specific information based on the request type. Detailed information is available in IBM’s TCP/IP Configuration and Reference Guide or the specific licensed program manual.
