Parameters 

             Wsid      Required.  The workstation name.  This can be up to eight
                       alphanumeric characters long; the first character must be
                       alphabetic.

                       The workstation must have been configured.
             Type      The type of trace to be started:

                        *  INTRINSIC: for commands and intrinsics accessed by NRJE
                           workstation users and managers.  These intrinsics are
                           traced:

                                 NRJEAlter         NRJELUList         NRJEStopWS
                                 NRJECancel        NRJELUStatus       NRJESubmit
                                 NRJEConsole       NRJEQueue          NRJE2Submit
                                 NRJEHJCancel      NRJERdrAccess      NRJETrace
                                 NRJEHJInfo        NRJERdrFence       NRJEWriter
                                 NRJEJobInfo       NRJEStartWS        NRJEWSInfo

                        *  LU: for NRJE LU procedures.


NOTE Use this option only when recommended by your HP representative. This type of tracing can have a performance impact. LU tracing for a workstation can be initially started only when the workstation is started. After that, it can be started and stopped at any time, as long as the workstation is active.
File An actual file designator of a disc file used for trace output data. If you do not specify the name of a trace output file, the default file name NMTCnnnn.PUB.SYS is used, where nnnn is a number from 0000 through 9999. The nnnn integer is incremented to form and find the next available trace file name. You can always retain trace data by using a default file name; however, considerable disc space might be used. If you specify a disc file that does not exist, it will be created as the destination for trace output. If you specify an existing file, and it already is in use for trace output, then trace output records for this activity are interleaved with other trace output records. You minimize the use of disc space by using an old file appropriately; however, trace output can be overwritten. If you specify an old file that is not already open, the file will be overwritten with new trace data. No warning is issued. Size The number of logical records to be stored in the trace file, from 0 through 32767. A logical record occupies one sector. A trace file is created with 16 extents. One extent is initially allocated, and additional extents are allocated one at a time, as needed. If the trace file becomes full and more trace data is to be written, the file is overwritten (beginning with the first record). If you omit this parameter, a default of 1024 is used. Description This command is used to start intrinsic and/or LU tracing for a workstation. Note that LU tracing can be started for an active workstation only. Tracing is described in Chapter 5 of this manual. Text Reference See TRACEON later in this chapter. NRJETrace is the manager intrinsic counterpart of this command; it is described in the SNA NRJE User/Programmer Reference Manual.
