Using SmartTrace › Generate Trace Reports

Generate Trace Reports

You can generate IPCS reports for a SmartTrace packet trace. The reports generated depend on the contents of the trace and fall into the following categories:

• DRDA Distributed Data Management (DDM) summary reports for connection establishment information between servers
• Data flow reports for TCP sessions (if you are authorized to view data)—The reports shows the data exchanged between TCP peer applications. If the data is segmented, the data is reassembled.
• Session reports for general information about sessions (for example, between two hosts)
• Statistics reports for statistical information about the trace (for example, the number of packets transferred for each protocol used)

You can generate the reports either through the GR action against a trace or through the REPORTS command on a Packet List panel.

To generate IPCS reports for a packet trace

1. Enter GR next to a trace, or enter REPORTS on a Packet List panel.

   A panel is displayed to show you the progress of the report generation. On completion, it lists the reports. A report name that has a number (in parenthesis) following contains multiple reports.

2. Enter S next to a report to view it.

   The report is displayed. If the report name indicates multiple reports, it is expanded to list those reports.

   You can also print or save a report.
