Data set allocation


MainView for IP dynamically allocates packet trace data sets if the data sets are not pre-allocated. The product uses the defined name pattern for allocating the packet trace data sets. For more information, see Patterns for allocating packet trace files.

If you pre-allocate trace data sets, use the following table for the data set attributes.
