IEA024I   ERROR IN GTF. opt TRACE OPTION WAS DISABLED

Explanation

During formatting of the trace table of the generalized trace facility (GTF), the dump formatter found an error record for a trace option. This error record was produced when GTF encountered a program check while attempting to create a trace record.

This message is followed by a hexadecimal dump of the error record. Refer to messages AHL118I and AHL1201.

In the message text:
opt
The trace option, which is one of the following:
  • DSP
  • EXT
  • IO
  • PI
  • SIO
  • SVC

System action

The program check for the error record caused GTF to bypass recording further events for the trace option. However, GTF continued to record all events for the other trace options requested.

After issuing this message, the system writes a hexadecimal dump of the error record. Refer to messages AHL118I and AHL1201.

Note: If opt is SVC, SVC tracing continues.

System programmer response

Ensure that problem programs are not altering the GTF region.

Ensure that sufficient storage is available within the GTF region for a SNAP dump (an additional 4 kilobytes is needed for ABDUMP/SNAP processing). Ensure that the GTFSNP cataloged procedure is used to obtain an ABDUMP/SNAP dump.

Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
