Traces and dumps start options

Table 1. Start options that affect traces and dumps. These start options (excluding CSDUMP, INOPCODE, and TRACE) can be displayed as a group with the DISPLAY VTAMOPTS,FUNCTION=TRACDUMP command.
Start option Description
CSDUMP Specifies a sense code trigger, message trigger, or both, that will cause a dump to be taken when the sense code or the message is issued
INOPCODE Whether to dump VTAM® for specific INOP conditions when INOPDUMP is enabled for the resource
INOPDUMP Whether a resource is eligible to initiate a VTAM dump under certain INOP conditions
PSSTRACE Whether to record IRB and SRB entries in the VTAM internal trace table when the PSS trace option is in effect
SNAPREQ The number of requests for VTAM buffers between snapshot dumps
TRACE Which traces to start at VTAM initialization
NACPROBE Specifies whether VTAM takes an FFST™ probe dump when VTAM does not complete the CLOSE ACB processing for an application timely. The title of the dump is "NACCT -- CLOSE TIMER EXPIRED FOR applname". Alternatively, you can use this option to specify the time interval at which VTAM takes an FFST probe dump when VTAM does not complete the CLOSE ACB processing for another application timely.
