Methods for requesting a transaction trace

There are several ways to start a transaction trace:

Request a trace online by using the ST primary command. (See Starting-a-transaction-trace-online.)
You can also replicate an existing trace as a starting point to request a new trace. (See Starting-a-transaction-trace-by-using-replication.)
For more information, view the Quick Course MainView for IMS - Managing IMS Traces.
Define a SET timer request in a BBI-SS PAS BBPARM data set member that can be started automatically when the system starts or started manually at your request.
Define a BMC AMI Ops Automation product EXEC.
Use the IMFEXEC IMF command followed by the service name, optional parameters, and an identifier for the target system. (See Using advanced automation with BMC AMI Ops Automation.) For example:
IMFEXEC IMFC SET REQ=MTRAC TRAN=PAY+ TARGET=IMSVS x

Important

To collect DBCTL thread data, CICS=YES or CICS=ONLINE must be specified in BBPARM member IMFECP00. For information about IMFECP00, see Customizing-after-installation. To determine the current setting of the CICS parameter, use the IECPSUMR view.

Important

For a list of all available keywords for setting an IMS trace with the REQ=MTRAC statement in the BLK PARMLIB member, or when using IMFC SET REQ=MTRAC within a BMC AMI OpsA EXEC, refer to BBPARM member BLKIMSKY. This member also contains examples of using the keywords.
