| FILE
|
The name of the trace file to be written. You can use the following pseudo-variables for the construction of the trace file name:
- $(APPNAME)
- The basename of the executable invoked to start the current process. For example, if
run.exeis invoked, $(APPNAME) has the value
"cobrun".
- $(EMITTER)
- Always "BINFILE" for this emitter.
- $(GEN)
- The generation of the file, starting from 1.
- $(PID)
- The operating system identifier for the current process
|
$(APPNAME).$(EMITTER).$(PID).ctb, or
$(APPNAME).$(EMITTER).$(PID).ctb_$(GEN) if the MAXGENERATION property has been specified. For example:
- If the BINFILE emitter is being used to output trace events for
cobrun
executing as process-id 3456 and the MAXGENERATION property has not been specified, the trace file created will be called
cobrun.binfile.3456.ctb
.
- If the binfile emitter is being used to output trace events for
myapp
executing as process-id 1975 and the MAXGENERATION property has been set to 3, the trace files created will be called
myapp.binfile.1975.ctb_1,
myapp.binfile.1975.ctb_2, and
myapp.binfile.1975.ctb_3.
|
| FLUSHEVERY
|
The number of trace records that will be output before the file is flushed. 0 indicates that the file will never be explicitly flushed.
|
1
|
| LOCATION
|
The folder where the trace files are to be written.
|
The folder specified by the MFTRACE_LOGS environment variable. If MFTRACE_LOGS is not set, the current folder is used.
If the folder specified by the LOCATION property does not exist, the Consolidated Tracing Facility tries to create it. If this fails, the Consolidated Tracing Facility uses the default location (as specified by the MFTRACE_LOGS environment variable). If this fails, the current folder is used.
|
| MAXFILESIZE
|
The maximum amount of data (in Kb) that will be written to the trace file before the file is closed and the next trace file in the generation sequence is opened. The first trace file in a generation sequence results in the $(GEN) pseudo-variable (see the description of the FILE property, above) being set to 1, the second in the sequence results in it being set to 2, and so on until MAXGENERATION is exceeded. Once the MAXGENERATION number of files has been reached, the generation number reverts to 1 and the first trace file in the generation is overwritten. This is only used if MAXGENERATION > 1.
|
0x00002800, indicating a maximum file size of 10 Mb.
|
| MAXGENERATION
|
The maximum number of trace files that will be written to while tracing is enabled. Use this property in conjunction with the MAXFILESIZE property.
|
1, indicating that only a single trace file will be created.
|
| MultiProc
|
Controls whether trace events are written to the trace file by a single process or by multiple processes. If enabled for multiple processes, the
File property must also be specified without the
$(PID) pseudo-variable embedded in its name.
|
FALSE, indicating that the configured trace file includes only events from the current process
