Component trace

ICSF Component Trace is configured using a PARMLIB member. A default PARMLIB member, CTICSF00, is shipped and installed with ICSF starting at the HCR77A1 release level. This PARMLIB member may be specified with the CTRACE option within the ICSF options data set.

Optionally, this PARMLIB member may be copied and customized to a CTICSFxx PARMLIB data set, where xx is a value used to make a copy. The new CTICSFxx PARMLIB member may then be specified at ICSF startup time using the CTRACE option within the ICSF options data set.

Refer to section “Creating an ICSF CTRACE Configuration Data Set” in Chapter 2 for more information on creating a CTICSFxx PARMLIB member.

The TRACEENTRY option in the ICSF Options Data Set has been deprecated. If this option is specified, it will be ignored and will produce a CSFO0212 message.

ICSF Component Trace may also be dynamically updated using the TRACE CT command. A CTICSFxx PARMLIB member may be passed to the TRACE CT command. Specific ICSF Component Trace options may also be specified via replies to the TRACE CT command on the operator console.

Following are examples of how to use the TRACE CT command to specify a CTICSFxx PARMLIB member and individual command options.

To configure ICSF CTRACE to use minimal tracing, use this TRACE OFF command:

TRACE CT,OFF,COMP=CSF

To specify a new CTICSFxx PARMLIB member, issue this command:

TRACE CT,ON,COMP=CSF,PARM=CTICSFxx

To specify that you want to trace ASID 0042, issue this command:

TRACE CT,ON,COMP=CSF

Follow the TRACE ON command with this reply:

R nn,ASID=(0042),END

To specify that you want to trace JOBNAME MYJOB, issue this command:

TRACE CT,ON,COMP=CSF

Follow the TRACE ON command with this reply:

R nn,JOBNAME=(MYJOB),END

To specify that you want to change the trace buffer size to 250K, issue this command:

TRACE CT,250K,COMP=CSF

Follow the TRACE command with this reply:

R nn,END

To specify that you want to change the trace filtering to CARDIO, issue this command:

TRACE CT,ON,COMP=CSF

Follow the TRACE ON command with this reply:

R nn,OPTIONS=(CARDIO),END

To display the current active trace options, issue this command:

DISPLAY TRACE,COMP=CSF
