public class CommTrace
extends WindowAdapter

CommTrace is used to provide a front end for the Format class to display and transfer the trace.
The traces must originate from a system(running OS/400 V5R2 or greater) and reside in the IFS directory structure.
They should be created with the following sequence of commands:
STRCMNTRC
ENDCMNTRC
DMPCMNTRC
The next step is to either format the file or transfer it to the local PC. The format can be done in two different ways.

The two options are equivalent.
The format that will be performed can be affected by changing the selection of the "Remote" and "Local" radio button.

If Remote is selected:
The file will be formated remotely on the i5/OS using JavaCommandCall. The output file will be an IFS file in the same directory as the trace but with a .bin extension appended. The progress of the format operation is not relayed to the Commtrace program unless the -verbose option is specified. A dialog will appear when the format has completed.
The file will then be displayed on the local PC. Any previous format can be displayed by selecting the "Display" button or using the Commtrace->Display menu option.
The formatted file could also be transfered to the local PC using the "Transfer" button or Commtrace->Transfer menu option and then displayed locally using the "Display" method.

If Local is selected:
The file must be transfered to the local PC using the transfer methods described above. A progress dialog will appear showing the transfer as it progresses.
The file can then be formated by selecting the Format button or menu option.
A progress dialog will appear when formatting and display the progress of the format.
After the formatting is complete the trace will be displayed as described in the FormatDisplay class.

CommTrace can be run as an application as follows:
 java com.ibm.as400.commtrace.Commtrace [options]
Options:
-verbose/-v [true|false]
Specifies whether to print status and other information to System.out
