Step 2. Telling NFS to connect to a CT external writer and start sending records

To have the NFS server start sending trace records to the CT external writer, enter the following command at the operator console:

TRACE CT,ON,COMP=MVSNFS

To have the NFS client start sending trace records to the CT external writer, enter the following command at the operator console:

TRACE CT,ON,COMP=MVSNFSC

In response to operator message *nn ITT006A SPECIFY OPERAND(S) FOR TRACE CT COMMAND reply with:

R nn,WTR=CTWTR,OPTIONS=(value(,value)),END

NFS will now start sending its trace records to the CT external writer, which in turn will start writing them to IBMUSER.CT1. A description of NFS trace option values (FFDC, Entry, Exit, etc.) is listed under Starting component tracing for the z/OS NFS server.
