IBM x3270 trace file playback tool
Synopsis
playback [ -p port ] trace_file
Description
playback opens a trace file (presumably created by the x3270 Trace Data Stream facility) and plays the host data it contains back over a socket to processes that connect to it. It also displays the data produced by the process in response.
Once connected to a process, playback is used interactively. Keyboard commands control the flow of data from the file to the socket. These commands are:
- s
Send one line of data.
- r
Send one record of data (send data until the TELNET EOR sequence is reached).
- q
Exit playback.
- d
Disconnect the current socket and wait for another connection.
Example
Suppose you wanted to play back a trace file called /usr/tmp/x3trc.12345. In one window, run:
playback /usr/tmp/x3trc.12345
In another window, start x3270 with the command:
x3270 localhost 4001
playback will announce the connection.
Thereafter, the s and r commands will send data from the file to x3270.
