82Operations - Common Setup: SCS Debug Trace
SCS Debug
Trace The trace function traces all input (EBCDIC) and output (ASCII)
data.
The trace menu option allows you to enable tracing and choose
where the trace data should be sent.
IMPORTANT:
Unless you have a computer running a capture
program attached to the selected port to receive
the trace data, the printer will remain Ready and
may not complete establishing a session with the
host.
Because tracing will decrease printing performance, it should only
be enabled when needed by service personnel for troubleshooting
and service.
NOTE:If the SCS/TNe Emulation is set to make an IDB dump when
this option is enabled (&%IDB_PRINT or &%IDB_PRINT_FULL
command), then the IDB dump is ignored and NOT
produced. The trace function also overrides the SCS3270
Hex Dump and SCS5250 Hex Dump options.
NOTE:If the Download Font (IDB Option 244) option is Enabled on
a TN5250e session, the fonts will be output in the trace data
before the job is processed. This decreases trace
performance significantly. It is recommended to set the
Download Font (IDB Option 244) option to Disabled when
performing a trace.
