Call Attachment Facility (CAF) trace

The DB2® Call Attachment Facility (CAF), which OAM uses to connect to DB2, has a trace that provides important diagnostic information. To activate the CAF trace, add the following JCL statement as the last JCL statement in the OAM cataloged procedure (PROCLIB member OAM) and restart OAM:

       //DSNTRACE  DD  SYSOUT=A

This data definition statement sends all of the CAF diagnostic trace messages to SYSOUT. To examine the messages, view SYSOUT after stopping OAM. For more information and examples about the CAF trace output, refer to IBM Information Management Software for z/OS Solutions Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/index.jsp.
