The GTFTR system initialization parameter
specifies whether CICS can use the MVS generalized trace facility
(GTF) as a destination for trace data.
- GTFTR={OFF|ON}
- This parameter controls whether any of the three types of CICS
trace entry are written to GTF data sets. The three types are: CICS
system trace (see the SYSTR parameter), user trace (see the USERTR
parameter), and exception trace entries (which are always made and
not controlled by a system initialization parameter).
- OFF
- CICS does not use GTF as a destination for CICS trace data.
- ON
- CICS uses GTF as a destination for CICS trace data. To use the
GTF data sets for CICS trace data, you must have started GTF with
the USR option, in addition to coding GTFTR=ON.
For information about GTF, see the z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and
Service Aids manual.
