Startup Options

The following table describes commonly used startup options and functions.

Command and Option	Function
focus	Starts the session with the line mode console, which enables you to view the FOCUS log and to dynamically issue focus options, such as startsu, stopsu, and traceon.
focus -traceon	Turns on tracing. May be used at startup or afterward. It is preferable to run traces at startup, unless instructed otherwise. Turn tracing on only when there is a problem that needs to be traced, to avoid incurring the associated overhead.
focus -traceoff	Turns off tracing.
