You must be a member of the local Administrators
group to capture a trace.
Tracing may cause performance degradation and should only be used for troubleshooting
purposes.
Startup tracing – Starts tracing the network and channel adapter automatically when a connection is started. The trace file is saved in the \\Program Files\Common Files\Barr\Trace folder. The trace file name will be the name of the service, with an .ipt extension for network traces and a .chi extension for channel traces. Each connection is saved as a Windows service. Services are named as follows, BarrTOSAdapterNumber_ImageNumberChannelAddress (for example, BarrTOS0_00E). If you are using a Bus & Tag adapter, the image number will not appear.
After you capture the trace, you can use the Diagnostics Utility to send the file to Barr Systems Technical Support.
Off – Disables startup tracing. This is selected by default.
Short – Automatically starts a short network and channel trace when the connection is started. This trace provides general information.
Long – Automatically starts a long network and channel trace when the connection is started. This trace provides detailed information.
Internal tracing – Captures internal trace information in a trace file. The trace file is saved in the \\Program Files\Common Files\Barr\Trace folder. The trace file name will be the name of the service, with a .int extension. Each connection is saved as a Windows service. Services are named as follows, BarrTOSAdapterNumber_ImageNumberChannelAddress (for example, BarrTOS0_00E). If you are using a Bus & Tag adapter, the image number will not appear.
After you capture the trace, you can use the Diagnostics Utility to send the file to Barr Systems Technical Support. This option should only be enabled if a Barr Systems support analyst advises you to do so. This option is disabled by default.
Off – Disables tracing. This is selected by default.
