Internal trace management
Internal tracing can be activated when Job Optimizer Pipes is started or during Job Optimizer Pipes execution, and it can be modified or stopped during Job Optimizer Pipes execution. Under normal circumstances, the tracing facilities are dormant, but the setting can be displayed.
When activated, the trace information is either printed to the PRTDBG and DADUMP DD statements that are defined in the Job Optimizer Pipes Started Task procedure, or issued to the console (depending on the process that produces the trace information).
Tracing can be requested for specific components, a specific job, or a pipe. Each component has its own identifying numbers to produce the trace. These numbers are called the trace level. One or more trace levels can be activated at the same time. Trace levels can be modified during execution.
Customer Support can provide you with the list of the trace levels that should be used, depending on the problem that was encountered.
