JNI tracing
Enable JNI trace by setting environment variables, by using a ctgstart command override, or when starting an application in local mode.
- While the CICS® Transaction Gateway is
running, use the MVS MODIFY
command to enable JNI trace:
/F JOB_NAME,APPL=TRACE,JNILEVEL=1 - When you start the CICS Transaction Gateway,
issue the command:
wherectgstart -j-Dgateway.T.setJNITFile=filenamefilenameis the name of the file to which trace output is to be sent. If you do not specify a full path to the file, the location is<install_path>/bin. - Set the following environment variables before you start the CICS Transaction Gateway or Java™ Client applications running
in local mode:
- CTG_JNI_TRACE
- Use this environment variable to set the name of the JNI trace file. This environment variable only defines the name of the JNI trace file; it does not enable trace. JNI trace is output as plain text, and there is no requirement to use a particular extension for the file name.
- CTG_JNI_TRACE_ON
- Set this environment variable to YES (case-insensitive) to enable JNI trace when the CICS Transaction Gateway or Java Client application is started.
- For Java Client applications
running in local mode, use Java to
launch your application and set the system property gateway.T.setJNITFile,
as shown in the following example:
wherejava -Dgateway.T.setJNITFile=filename applicationfilenameis the name of the file to which trace output is to be sentapplicationis the application to launch
When JNI tracing is enabled, some trace points might be written
from threads running under different user IDs. To ensure that all
trace points can be written to an existing file, change the permissions
to allow all users to write to it:
chmod a+w filenameDo
not allow more than one process to write to the same trace file, because
this can cause trace points to be lost.
