Statistics C API trace levels

The CICS® Transaction Gateway statistics C API provides several levels of diagnostic trace information.

Trace levels

The CICS Transaction Gateway statistics C API can produce diagnostic trace information, depending on the trace level setting.

Each level automatically includes all the detail provided by the lower levels. For example, CTG_STAT_TRACE_LEVEL2 indicates that all events and exceptions will be traced.
