SNA Link/iX Node Manager's Guide
Using NMDUMP for the SNA Links
The NMS utility NMDUMP can be used to format tracing and logging records
for the SNA links. Described below are the tracing and logging formats
produced for the SNA links by NMDUMP. Note that NMDUMP is described
in more detail in Using the Node Management Services Utilities
[32022-61005]. If you are not familiar with NMDUMP, you should read that
manual before running NMDUMP.
As stated earlier in this chapter, link trace logging information is
written to the system log file, which your Hewlett-Packard support
contact formats by using the DUI. So, no description of that file's
format is given below.
SNA Transport Output Formats
For SNA Transport, NMDUMP formats tracing records and logging records.
When NMDUMP displays the list of subsystems and IDs, and prompts you for
the IDs you want to select, specify the ID for SNA Transport: 1. Then,
proceed normally with NMDUMP. The format for each type of record is
described below.
Tracing Records.
Figure 5-1 below is a partial example of the format of a tracing record
for SNA Transport.
NOTE All numeric values in the SNA Transport trace are given in
hexadecimal.
