Starts the tracing of system events. The trace log file and the internal trace buffers that collect trace event data can be managed, including their size, by this command.
Extracts trace information from a system dump.
If the system halts while the trace facilities are active, the contents of the internal trace buffers are captured. This command extracts the trace event data from the dump and writes it to the trace log file. The trcrpt command formats reports of trace event data contained in the trace log file. The trcrpt command uses the trace formatting templates to determine how to interpret the data recorded for each event. Software products that record events usually run the trcupdate command as part of the installation process.
