Name

ositrace − generate readable trace file

Syntax

ositrace [options] trace-file

Description

The ositrace command allows you to create a readable file from a binary trace file created during an FTAM or Virtual Terminal association. You generate a binary trace file when you specify the -T option with an FTAM or Virtual Terminal command. 

You can specify a combination of the uppercase options (-F, -V, -A, -P, -S). If you do not specify any of the uppercase options, the ositrace utility uses all of them as the default.

Options

−hDisplays a brief help message that includes usage syntax and valid command options. 

−FDisplays trace records only for the FTAM components.  The trace monitors protocol control information (PCI) and file-access data unit (FADU) components. 

An FTAM PCI trace monitors the inbound and outbound FTAM service primitives.  The trace output logs PCI octets and analyzes the FTAM PCI. 

An FTAM FADU trace monitors the inbound and outbound file structure data.  The trace is formatted into two columns:  the left column logs the octets of data and the right column logs the text equivalents of the octets. 

-VDisplays trace records only for the Virtual Terminal components.  The trace monitors protocol control information (PCI). 

A Virtual Terminal PCI trace monitors the inbound and outbound Virtual Terminal service primitives. The trace output logs PCI octets and analyzes the Virtual Terminal PCI. 

The trace is formatted into two columns:  the right column logs the octets of data and the left column logs the text equivalents of the octets. 

-ADisplays trace records only for the ACSE layer. The trace monitors the inbound and outbound ACSE service primitives. The trace output logs PCI octets and analyzes the ACSE PCI. 

-PDisplays trace records only for the Presentation layer. The trace monitors the inbound and outbound presentation service primitives. The trace output logs presentation PDU (PPDU) octets and analyzes the presentation PCI. 

-SThis option displays trace records only for the session layer. The trace monitors the inbound and outbound session service primitives.  The trace output logs session PDU (SPDU) octets and analyzes the session PCI. 

-fThis option filters timestamps. This option causes all timestamps to appear as the string xx-xxx-xxxx,xx:xx:xx and allows the comparison of two trace files using the diff command. 

trace-fileThe trace-file specifies the binary trace file that the utility creates when you specify the -T option. All output is displayed on the default output device unless you redirect it to a file.
