Starting the OTMA trace

The /TRACE SET ON TABLE OTMT command activates the trace and sends the entries to an internal table.

You can format the table using the Offline Dump Formatter under IPCS, using either the VERBX command or the IMS Dump Formatter panels.

If a SNAP dump is taken, the table is formatted as part of the IMS dump. If you add the OPTION LOG parameter to the /TRACE command, IMS sends the output to an external data set. You can use the File Select and Format utility (DFSERA10) with exit routine DFSERA60 to format trace entries.
