Summary of system trace entry identifiers

This topic summarizes all the system trace entries by identifier. Because many trace entries are similar, they are described together. Use Table 1 to locate the format for a particular entry.

For example, in the trace entry shown in Figure 1, the system trace identifier is SVC. Look up SVC in Table 1 to find where the SVC trace entry format is described. In this case, the SVC trace entry is described in SVC, SVCE, and SVCR trace entries.
