The trace levels for a specific CICS® component are represented by two values. One value shows the active level of tracing for standard tracing; the other shows the level for special tracing. In CETR, you can set the active level of tracing for standard or special tracing for an individual component or for a group of components.
About this task
For more information about standard and special tracing,
including tracing levels, see Using CICS trace.
Procedure

Use PF7 and PF8 to scroll backward and forward through
the list of components.
Specify the level of tracing that you require for a component.
You can specify a range of tracing levels, of which levels ‘1'
and ‘2' are usually the most appropriate, using any of the following
methods:
Specify the tracing level by over-typing the displayed value;
for example, 1-2 or 1,2.
Type ALL in upper or lower case under
the relevant heading.
Use the equal sign = when changing
several fields, to indicate that a particular field should be changed
to the same value as the one above.
If you use CETR to turn on tracing for a particular component, CICS does not save modifications to the component trace flags across any kind of CICS restart.
Type OFF to turn off tracing for
a particular component under either the special or standard heading.
