SPCTR
The SPCTR system initialization parameter specifies the level of special tracing required for CICS® as a whole.
- SPCTR={(1,2 )|(1[,2][,3])|ALL|OFF}
- Specifies the level of special tracing for all CICS components used by a transaction, terminal,
or both. If you want to set different tracing levels for an individual
component of CICS, use the SPCTRxx system
initialization parameter.
It is possible to select up to 4 levels of tracing using this parameter. However, most CICS components only use 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), which also has level 4 tracing. Use the SPCTRxx system initialization parameter to set special tracing levels above 3 for this component.
