Using the WUI to control CMAS and MAS tracing

You use the CMAS detail (EYUSTARTCMAS.TRACE) view and the MASs known to CICSplex (EYUSTARTMAS.TRACE) view to control the tracing that occurs in an active CMAS or MAS.

You can access the CMAS detail (EYUSTARTCMAS.TRACE) view in two ways:
  • From the main menu, click CICSPlex SM operations.
  • Either:
    1. From the CICSPlex SM operations views menu, click MASs known to CICSplex.
    2. From the MASs known to CICSplex (EYUSTARTMAS.TABULAR) view, click an active CMAS name to display the CMAS detail (EYUSTARTCMAS.DETAILED) view.
    3. Click the Trace details link at the foot of the view to display the CMAS detail (EYUSTARTCMAS.TRACE) view.
  • Or:
    1. From the CICSPlex SM operations views menu, click CMASs know to local CMAS.
    2. From the CMASs known to local CMAS (EYUSTARTCMASLIST.TABULAR) view, click the Type of access field for a CMAS to display the CMAS detail (EYUSTARTCMAS.DETAILED) view.
    3. Click the Trace details link at the foot of the view to display the CMAS detail (EYUSTARTCMAS.TRACE) view.

See Table 1 for an example tabular representation of a CMAS trace flags view.

To access the MAS detail (EYUSTARTMAS.TRACE) view:
  1. From the main menu, click CICSPlex SM operations > MASs known to CICSplex.
  2. From the MASs known to CICSplex (EYUSTARTMAS.TABULAR) view, click an active CICS system name, to display the MASs known to CICSplex (EYUSTARTMAS.DETAILED) view.
  3. Click the Trace details link at the foot of the view to display the MASs known to CICSplex (EYUSTARTMAS.TRACE) view.
Note: The MAS trace flags view is similar to that shown in Table 1. However, the MAS trace flags view has MAS services trace flags and does not have Monitoring trace flags.
