View the Active In-Memory Non-Dataset Trace

This panel shows information about the status of the current trace and a summary of the application (Db2 thread) information that is being collected.

All ATF screens display the Current Trace Status. The basic status values are INACTIVE or ACTIVE. Plans are listed in descending order of in-Db2 CPU time used.

To view unit of work summary information for a traced application thread, place the cursor on the line of a plan name and press PF11.
