Modifying without the PARMLIB member

To change component trace options without using a PARMLIB member, issue the TRACE CT command without the PARM= parameter and specify the options on the reply. Though the SYSTCPDA component for packet or data trace does not have a parmlib member, SYSTCPDA can be used on the trace command without the PARMLIB member.

Use the following syntax: 
TRACE CT,ON,COMP=component_name,SUB=(procedure_jobname)
After issuing the TRACE CT command, you are prompted to specify the trace options. Respond using the following syntax:
Reply nn
[,ASID=(asid-list)]
[,JOBNAME=(jobname-list)]
[,OPTIONS=(name[name]...)]
[,WTR={membername|DISCONNECT}]
[,CONT|END]
Restriction: ASID and JOBNAME are not valid for OMPROUTE.
Reply nn
Specifies the identification number (in the range 0-9999) in the prompting message. For example, if the response is 
06 ITT066A SPECIFY OPERAND(S) FOR TRACE CT COMMAND
You might reply 
r 06,WTR=PTTCP,END
ASID
The ASID (address space identifiers) of the client whose TCP/IP requests are to be traced.
JOBNAME
The job name of the client whose TCP/IP requests are to be traced. The job name might be:
  • The job name associated with a client application.
  • The SNA LU associated with a TELNET session.
    Restriction: Do not use the JOBNAME parameter with the TELNET CTRACE option.
  • The FTP user ID associated with an FTP data connection.
OPTIONS
Options valid for use with SYSTCPIP are listed in this topic; options valid for use with OMPROUTE are listed in Diagnosing OMPROUTE problems; and options for SYSTCPRE (the Resolver component) are listed in Diagnosing resolver problems.

Options valid for use with IKE daemon are listed in Diagnosing IKE daemon problems

Options valid for use with the network security services (NSS) server are listed in Diagnosing network security services (NSS) server problems.

Options valid for use with the Defense manager daemon (DMD) are listed in Diagnosing Defense Manager daemon problems.

membername
The member containing the source JCL that invokes the external writer. The membername in the WTR parameter must match the membername in a previous TRACE CT,WTRSTART command. (See Steps for obtaining component trace data with an external writer.)
WTR=DISCONNECT
Disconnects the component trace external writer and the trace. You must also specify a TRACE CT,WTRSTART or TRACE CT,WTRSTOP command to start or stop the writer.
CONT or END
CONT specifies that the reply continues on another line. Specify END to complete the response.
