STNTR

The STNTR system initialization parameter specifies the level of standard tracing required for CICS® as a whole.

STNTR={1|(1[,2][,3])|ALL|OFF}
It is possible to use this parameter to select up to 32 levels of tracing. However, most CICS components use only levels 1, 2 and 3, and some do not have trace points at all these levels.

The exception is the SM component (storage manager domain). The SM component also has level 4 tracing. If you need to set standard tracing levels above 3 for this component, use the STNTRxx system initialization parameter, rather than the STNTR system initialization parameter

CAUTION:
Before you globally activate tracing levels 3 and ALL, which sets these tracing levels for the SM component, read the warnings in the information about the STNTRxx system initialization parameter.
number
Code the level numbers for the level of standard tracing you want for all CICS components. The options are: 1, (1,2), or (1,2,3). The default, 1, specifies standard tracing for level 1 for all CICS components.
ALL
Enables standard tracing for all levels.
OFF
Disables standard tracing.

For information about the differences between special and standard CICS tracing, see CICS trace.
