Example 14-1 demonstrates how you can create a TRACEINI file to filter your tracing.
In this example:
Disable No trace information at this level is put in the trace file.
Enable All trace information at this level is put in the trace file.
Selective Trace all information at this level that matches a specified key string.
[executable-name] The name of the executable file being traced. For example, if you
have enabled trace for the Configuration Builder, it opens the
TRACEINI file and searches for [CBEXE].

tracing of all records at a level. For a list of search strings, see
Table 14-1 on page 14-8.
