Trace Player

You can use the Trace Player to read and optionally replay the tracing information created when you have file operation tracing configured on. Tracing information is stored for one or more processes, with each process identified as a separate session. An operation trace consists of the I/O number (a number starting from 1 giving the position of the operation in the sequence of operations), the session ID, the opcode, file status resulting from the call and the name of the file. Additional information can optionally be displayed.

There are various ways to use the Trace Player:

• View all the operations that were traced.
• Replay all the operations across all sessions in I/O number order. All the files must be available in their original states.
• Replay all the operations in one session in I/O number order.
• Run a script to replay each session in session order. All the files must be available in their original states. The absolute order of operations across sessions might not be the same as when they were originally recorded.
