Using CTRACE › Export a Trace

Export a Trace

After you have saved a trace, you can export it to a physical sequential (PS) data set or an HFS file.

If you plan to export to a data set, you must allocate it first with the following requirements:

• Organization—PS
• Record length—2056 bytes minimum (for libpcap output format) or 27994 bytes minimum (for CTRACE output format)
• Block size—(record_length + 4 bytes) to 32760 bytes
• Record format—VB

To export a trace

1. Enter /CTRACE at the prompt.

   The CTRACE Packet Tracing Menu appears.

2. Enter L (List Saved Traces).

   (Optional) If you want to list saved traces on a remote region, specify the name of the INMC link to that region in the Link Name field.

   Press Enter.

   The Saved Trace List appears.

3. Enter EX (Export) beside the trace that you want to export.

   The Export CTRACE Trace panel appears.

4. Complete the fields, and then press F6 (Action).

   The trace is exported.
