Is WPP tracing available in the W2k DDK?

Is WPP tracing available in the W2k DDK? I tried to enable WPP tracing in
my driver as described in an article from OSR. I’m having troulb getting it
to work. I’ve also only found useful information in the help for the 2003
DDK and the tracedrv sample is only in the 2003 DDK.

Thanks,

Jonathan

You should not be using the W2K DDK it is obsolete. The 2003 DDK is the
appropriate DDK for drivers for 2000, XP and 2003. WPP tracing is supported
on 2000, but there are some differences, check the archives of this group
the differences have been well discussed.

Yes. But (as I think it says in the article) the way you implement WPP
tracing for a driver that’ll run on Win2K is slightly different.

Please search the archives of this list (from the OSR Online home page
or here: http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=search), and you’ll find
innumerable postings on this very topic.

Thanks for the resources. I just noticed that there are two articles on
tracing. I’ll look at the newer one.

Does this mean I have to have a binary for Win2k and a binary for 2003?

The win2k style of tracing is forward compatible with XP and later OS’s,
but less powerful, so you can have one binary if you don’t mind the
minimal sacrifice in capabilities.

Thanks. Two more questiona that could save me research time. Does the
tracing in 2000 use the WmiTraceMessage() routines? Is there an example
driver on how to use it?

Thanks,

Jonathan

WmiTraceMessage Is not available in W2K, available in XP and above.
W2K uses IoWMIWriteEvent API for Tracing.

You can write your driver for Win2K and it will also run in XP and
above.

We are currenlty working on this issue, extending the templates so that
the Trace API is chosen at Runtime, and having just one set of Templates

Nope, that is one of the newer features of tracing avail on XP and later
only. You are not supposed to call this function directly. WPP will
call it on your behalf.

The Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK (now in Beta; available to MSDN subscribers)
has a new section about WPP software tracing tools, “Tools for Software
Tracing,” that including a section on tracing during boot and an Tracing
FAQ.

Be sure to let us know if it’s helpful. Use the feedback link at the bottom
of each page to send comments and questions (and compliments).
