The online tester can merge UAP trace information from a number of trace files into a single file and edit the file contents for output. This is called merging and editing UAP trace information.

Trace information is merged by entering an online tester command. The user specifies two or more trace files and the trace information is merged in a single file, following the service sequence. This facility can be used for saving the trace information from a number of OpenTP1 systems in collection sequence for each global transaction. The facility can also be used for merging the contents of a trace file and swap file.

Figure 2-11 shows the result of merging UAP trace information.

Trace information can be edited for output by online tester command. The user can specify the log date and time to set the output range.

Two output formats are available:

• All the trace information in a trace file
• Part of the trace information (function names, for example) in a trace file

Figure 2-12 gives an overview of collecting, merging, editing, and outputting UAP trace information.
