Steps for displaying the internal trace

Trace records can be written either to a CICS® internal trace table or to its external-trace data set (auxtrace).

Procedure

Perform the following steps to display the internal trace:

  1. Request a dump of the CICS region by using the RGN SDATA=(option 1,option 2...option n) parameter on a DUMP command. Examples of options are CSA, PSA, NVC, RGN, TRT, SQA, LSQA, and LPA. For a complete list of options, see z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids.
  2. Display the trace by using the IPCS VERBX CICSxxx 'UEH=3' command.
    Tip: CICS trace can also be directed to the GTF trace data set.

What to do next
