Builder
Application Builder has an extensive internal tracing capability that can be helpful when diagnosing problems in the generate. To set tracing for the main elements of Builder's processing routines, you can use the TRACE+/TRACE- and RESTARTTRACE commands. Refer to TRACE+, TRACE- or RESTARTTRACE for more information.
If a more complete range of tracing is required, the trace details must be set in the Application Builder options file located in NGEN28SYS/APPL_BLD_nn/INI. In this file the various trace options are set. To be enabled, these options must commence in column one of the file. When enabled, internal tracing information is captured to the printer backup (BD name = *APPL_BLD/…) for subsequent analysis.
The trace options are summarized in the following table:
| Trace Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Trace_all | Enables all trace options |
| Trace_DSS | Enables tracing of the DSS interface |
| Trace_load | This option is reserved for future use. |
| Trace_msgs | Enables tracing of the general purpose message |
| Trace_port | Enables tracing of all activities in the port file |
| Trace_server | Enables tracing of the main process activity |
| Trace_tree | Enables tracing of the internal "tree" memory structures |
A sample of the Application Builder Options file is given below:
Trace_port Trace_Server ODT = Y AX,FS W
Note: This file also includes other configuration options such as ODT, EP, etc.
