Default trace log data set names


You can construct the name of the default trace log data set when its prefix is longer than 8 bytes.

Default trace log data sets use the following naming convention and are limited to a total length of 44 bytes:

prefix.target.traceID.mmmdd.Thhmm.Vnn.suffix

The following table describes the variables:

Variable

Description

prefix

Value that the TRPREFIX parameter value specifies in BBPARM member IMFBEXxx

target

Name of the IBM CICS, IBM Db2, and IBM IMS target for which the trace is started

traceID

ID associated with the trace

mmmdd

Month and day on which the trace is started

Thhmm

Time when the trace is started

Vnn

Version of the trace log data set, where valid values for nn can range from 01 to 99

suffix

Value that the TRSUFFIX parameter value specifies in following BBPARM members:

  • CMRBEXxx (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS)
  • DMRBEXxx (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2)
  • IMFBEXxx (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL)

Example

If a generated name exceeds 44 bytes, the display excludes the date (mmmdd) node and, if necessary, the time (Thhmm) nodes.

The following example shows that the mmmdd node of the default data set name does not appear because the total prefix length ( BOLTSM.SCCSJSD) is longer than 8 bytes.
