CRM Administration

The following sections describe the types of tracing that can be set and the corresponding functionality.

APPC API Tracing

The DCL SNAP-IX APPC API may be captured by enabling the APPC API tracing. The API trace shows the parameters and values passed and returned to the DCL SNAP-IX stack.

Setting APPC API Tracing

The CRM APPC API trace option can be enabled by using the -s option on the command line. For example, the command:

CRM -s //myhost:3838 CRMB

Would start the CRM with APPC API tracing enabled. If the -s option is not set or the APPC API trace feature is disabled.

APPC API tracing can be dynamically enabled or disabled after the CRM process is started by using the WebLogic Administration Console. From the CRM configuration page, select `enabled' or `disabled' for APPC trace, and click Apply.

Directing the APPC Trace Output

The APPC Trace output can be directed to a file by setting the environment variable SNATRC as follows:

export SNATRC="filename::"

This will direct the APPC trace output to $APPDIR/filename. If the SNATRC environment variable is not set and the CRM is being run in console mode, the APPC trace output is output to the CRM console. If the SNATRC environment variable is not set and the CRM is being run in the background, the APPC trace output is output to stdout.
