Making trace entries

If tracing is active, you can specify that an entry in the CICS® trace table is made immediately before and immediately after the exit program runs.

Procedure

  • Use either of the following methods to create a trace entry before and after the exit program runs:
    • The UE option of the CETR transaction.
    • The UE option of the EXEC CICS SET TRACETYPE command.
  • If your global user exit is in a domain, you can add extra trace calls to provide additional diagnostic information by setting the AP option of EXEC CICS SET TRACETYPE to level 1 or 2.
  • Depending on which exit point you are using, you might be able to use the XPI DFHTRPTX TRACE_PUT macro to create trace entries in the user exit program.
    The individual descriptions of the global user exit points indicate whether you can use the XPI DFHTRPTX macro.
