Syntax
TRACE=valueOptions and values
The value can
be:
- NO
- ACIF does not produce diagnostic trace records.
- YES
On multiplatform systems, ACIF writes trace information to the file specified by the TRACEDD parameter.
On z/OS® platforms, ACIF uses the facilities of the z/OS and MVS™ Generalized Trace Facility (GTF) to produce diagnostic trace records. ACIF writes GTF trace records with a user event ID of X'314'. To capture ACIF GTF records, GTF needs to be started with the option
TRACE=USRP, and subsequently modified withUSR=(314).
Tracing increases processor overhead and should be turned off unless you need to do problem determination. If YES is specified and GTF is active, ACIF ends with a Return Code 4 (RC=4).
