The COLLECT command takes a snapshot of current tracing activity.

 Format:

 	COLLECT [qualifier]

 If you start tracing with a START/NOCOLLECT command, the collected trace
 records are copied to an internal CTF buffer.  When the buffer is full,
 new trace records overwrite the oldest trace records in the buffer.
 Thus, the buffer provides a snapshot of the most recent trace history.

 When you issue a COLLECT command, the current contents of the buffer
 are then processed as they normally are for live or detached tracing.

1  –  Comand Qualifiers

 The command has a single optional qualifier:

  /PROCESS_NAME

2    /PROCESS_NAME

 	Specifies the name of the trace server process that is to
 	collect the data.

 	This must be the same process that you specify in the
 	/PROCESS_NAME qualifier in the START/NOCOLLECT command that
 	you issued to start snapshot tracing.

 	If you do not specify a process name, then CTF will use the
 	process named username$CTF.

 	You cannot specify a process name if you issue the COLLECT
 	command while performing live tracing.

3  –  Examples

 CTF> COLLECT

 	If you are performing detached tracing, writes trace records
 	collected by the default trace server process username$CTF and
 	writes them to CTF$TRACE.DAT. If you are performing live
 	tracing, the trace records are displayed on your terminal.

 CTF> COLLECT /PROC=SMITH$CTF_Z

 	Writes trace records collected by the process SMITH$CTF_Z to
 	CTF$TRACE.DAT. You must have previously issued a
 	START/NOCOLLECT command naming SMITH$CTF_Z in the
 	/PROCESS_NAME qualifier.
