A lost event record indicates that GTF lost the trace records for
one or more events because of an error or overflow of the trace buffer.
Record Format When GTF Trace Buffer is Lost due
to Error
**** ONE TRACE BUFFER LOST TIME hh.mm.ss.dddddd
- hh.mm.ss.dddddd
- The time of day (hour.minute.second.microsecond) when GTF placed
the first trace record in the buffer.
The size of the GTF trace buffer is:
- Equal to the blocksize used by GTF when writing the trace data,
if GTF is writing the trace records to a data set on a direct access
storage device (DASD). The system displays the blocksize in message
AHL906I. If the records are to be written to a data set, the system
issues message AHL906I after starting GTF.
- 32,760 bytes, if GTF is writing the trace records to a data set
on tape.
- 32,768 bytes, if GTF is writing the trace records only into internal
trace buffers.
Record Format for Number of Trace Events Lost
due to Errors or Trace Buffer Overflow
****** LOST EVENTS NUM ddddddddddddd LOCAL TIME mm/dd/yyyy hh.mm.ss.nnnnnn ***
- dddddddddd
- The number of lost events
- mm/dd/yyyy
- The date (in month/day/year format) when GTF placed the first
trace record in the current trace buffer.
- hh.mm.ss.dddddd
- The time of day (hour.minute.second.microsecond) when GTF placed
the first trace record in the current trace buffer.
