Deleting or deactivating debug profiles stored in a VSAM data set
If you are storing debug profiles in a VSAM data set, as described in Storing DTCN debug profiles in a VSAM file, the number of profiles no longer in use might become large, because the debug profiles persist across region restarts and after the terminal from which a profile was created has been disconnected. z/OS® Debugger provides two transactions, DTCD and DTCI, to delete or deactivate debug profiles stored in a region's VSAM data set.
To delete debug profiles in the VSAM data set identified by the EQADPFMB DD statement on your region, use the DTCD transaction. The following diagram describes the syntax of the DTCD transaction:
- userid
- Delete the debug profile associated with a specific CICS® user ID.
- *
- Deletes debug profiles from the VSAM data set. This option requires specific RACF® authority; therefore, reserve it for CICS administrators.
To deactivate all debugging profiles in the VSAM data set, use the DTCI transaction. The following diagram describes the syntax of the DTCI transaction:
The following list describes the parameters:
- userid
- Deactivate the debug profile associated with a specific CICS user ID.
- *
- Deactivate debug profiles from the VSAM data set. This option requires specific RACF authority; therefore, reserve it for CICS administrators.
