Starting a NetSpool trace

You can request internal and external tracing in two ways:

  • The NetSpool startup procedure

    By specifying parameters in the startup procedure, you can start tracing when NetSpool is started.

  • The MVS™ MODIFY command

    By using the MVS MODIFY operator command, you can start and stop a trace while NetSpool is running.

Tip: Before you start any NetSpool external trace, you must start the Generalized Trace Facility (GTF).
