INPUT parameter

Use the INPUT parameter to specify the input file trace data that you want to be processed.

ALL

This is the default if a value is not specified or the parameter is reset. All trace records types in the trace data set are processed with one run of ACF/TAP.

BUFFER, BUFF, BUF, BFFR, PIU

Specify this value to process a VTAM® buffer trace. Any of the abbreviations listed here can be used.

LINE

Specifying this value causes the following trace records to be processed:

NCP line
SIT
Transmission group
NTO internal and FIDO
NRF
NTRI
TIC
X.25
Frame-relay
ESS trace
CSS line and adapter traces

The NTRI line trace includes the NTRI IOH trace. When you activate an NTRI line trace, the IOH trace is automatically activated.

SCAN

Specify this value if you want only summary data to be collected for all trace records in the trace data set. Analysis is not done on the trace records, and only a SYSPRINT report is produced. If INPUT=SCAN, the SUMMARY parameter is set to ALL, unless you specify SUMMARY=EVERY.

For more SUMMARY parameter information, see Summary parameter. For information about messages DSJ201I and DSJ205I, see Messages.

GPT

Specify this value to process the generalized PIU trace (GPT) records. If you specify this value, see the NCPNAME parameter in NCPNAME parameter.

NETCTLR

Specify this value to process the network controller trace for the IBM® 3710 Network Controller.

VIT

Specify this value to process the VTAM internal trace (VIT).
