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
