Recorded Traffic

Capture TN3270/TN5250 TCP conversations as .trf files and replay them in a mock session without the live host.

1. Enable Record Traffic in Connectivity Settings (disabled by default).
2. Open Admin → Recorded Traffic.
3. Search, filter, or upload a .trf file.
4. View a recording, then Play to start the local traffic player (Stop Player ends it). Only one player runs at a time.
5. Start Mock Session opens emulation against that player.

Capture from a live session requires an admin grant plus Record Traffic. A pasted record URL cannot start recording by itself. Available for 3270 and 5250 Terminal Client connections only (not mock or trail-file connections). Files are stored under ~/.ol-terminal/traffic/. Mock replay does not use a managed-user seat.

If the Recorded Traffic tab is missing, enable Record Traffic in Connectivity Settings.
