Selective File Dump and Trace (SFDT) Debugging Tools

Selective file dump and trace (SFDT) are debugging tools (also referred to as the selective file trace (SFT) debugging tool and the selective file dump (SFD) debugging tool) designed to help you locate file-related errors during online operations or while testing under the control of the program test vehicle (PTV) utility. Both functions are activated by commands. The commands are entered from a CRAS console or included as part of the PTV input message stream generated by the system test compiler (STC) utility. Although only one function of the SFT debugging tool can be active at one time, the SFD debugging tool can be activated at any time, even while an SFT trace period is active.
