Configuring the Shadow Trace File Names in the
FASTCNFG File
TYPE E
specifies that the shadow trace file is an entry-sequenced Enscribe file.
REC 4000
specifies file has a record size of 4000 bytes.
EXT (
n
,
n
)
specifies the primary and secondary file extent sizes of the file. The values
specified depend on the amount of file space required. An extent consists of 2048
bytes.
A maximum of eight shadow trace files can be created for each device.
Configuring the Shadow Trace File Names in the FASTCNFG File
To configure the shadow trace file names for a device, specify the SHADOW attribute
as part of the DEVICE entry in the FASTCNFG file as follows:
where:
device-name
specifies the Spooler device name for the printer device.
$
volume
.
subvolume
.
file
specifies the name of a Guardian file used for trace output. If the file name is not
fully qualified, the volume and subvolume default to the volume and subvolume
Note.
For FASTPNOV, FASTPSMB, FASTPX25, and FASTPXNS shadow trace files must be
manually created, as described here, prior to their use.
For FASTPTCP, the shadow trace file does not need to be created prior to use. If the specified
shadow trace file already exists, FASTPTCP attempts to purge the file. If the shadow trace file
does not exist or the purge is successful, FASTPTCP automatically creates an unstructured
(new format) shadow trace file. If the purge is not successful, FASTPTCP attempts to use the
existing file in the form based on the file’s type (new format, if unstructured; old format, if
otherwise.)
