TRACE.MODE
Purpose
The TRACE.MODE statement specifies in which area data is to be logged. Specifying a value other than INT causes any tracing done at early initialization to be lost.
Syntax
where:
- GTF
- Indicates to log the trace data to the generalized trace facility (GTF). MODE=GTF is rejected if GTF is not active.
- INT
- Indicates to log the trace data in the internal table. INT is the default.
- *NONE*
- Indicates that tracing is off.
Usage notes
- Tracing might have started very early at initialization, using the parameters MODE=INT, SIZE=trsize, OPTION=ALL, where trsize is the size specified on the TRSIZE procedure variable. Specifying TRACE.MODE=GTF or a different TRACE.SIZE value than that used in the TRSIZE parameter in the NetView® CNMSJ009 startup procedure causes the NetView trace to be restarted and, as a result, all early trace records are lost.
- Specifying TRSIZE=0 in the NetView startup procedure disables early tracing. The trace can still be started by the TRACE statements in the CNMSTYLE member.
- By default, TRACE is on, internal, with size 4000, and options DISP, PSS, QUE, STOR, and UEXIT.
- To run without trace, and to stop any tracing started at early initialization, specify TRACE.MODE=*NONE*.
- If you notice a significant increase in processor utilization during initialization, you can change the TRACE options or start the trace after NetView initialization is complete.
