CEBT SET AUXTRACE

Function

Change auxiliary tracing options.

Description

You can start, stop, or pause tracing, and specify that automatic switching of the auxiliary data set is to occur when needed. You can use the switch option to change the data set.

Instead of using the SET command, you can overtype your changes on the INQUIRE screen after tabbing to the appropriate field (see Overtyping a display).

For information about using traces, see Using traces in problem determination .

Syntax

Press the Clear key to clear the screen. There are two ways to start this transaction:

Type CEBT SET AUXTRACE (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords). The resulting display lists the current status, similar to that obtained by using the CEBT INQUIRE AUXTRACE command. You can tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype them with the required values.
Type CEBT SET AUXTRACE (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords), followed by one or more attribute settings that you want to change. For example, CEBT S AUX STO stops auxiliary tracing if it is already running.

CEBT SET AUXTRACE

Options

All: Specifies that automatic switching between the two auxiliary trace data sets is to occur as necessary until the end of this CICS® session, without the need for operator intervention.
NExt: Automatic switching of the auxiliary trace data set is to occur when the current trace data set is full, but not subsequently.
NOswitch: Switching between the auxiliary trace data sets is not to occur without operator intervention.
Pause: Auxiliary tracing is to stop, but the data set is to remain open. A subsequent START request causes trace entries to be written immediately following those that were written before the PAUSE request.
STArt: CICS is to start auxiliary tracing and open the auxiliary trace data set if it is currently closed.
STOp: CICS is to stop auxiliary tracing and close the auxiliary trace data set. A subsequent START request causes new trace entries to be written at the start of the data set, thereby overwriting the trace entries that were written before the STOP request.
SWitch: Specifies that an immediate switch from the current auxiliary trace data set is to be made to the alternate trace data set.
