Customization of the application trace facility


This section describes how to manually:

  • Specify trace defaults in BBPARM member DMRBEXxx
  • Set up and maintain a trace directory and trace log data sets
  • Set up continuous workload history traces

A request for a trace can also request that the trace data be recorded to VSAM data sets for later viewing or printing. The logging of trace data requires a preallocated trace directory that must be identified to BBI. You can set up the trace directory during BMC AMI Ops configuration, as described in Installation System or manually, as described in Set-up-and-maintain-a-trace-directory. Trace log data sets can be preallocated, or allocated dynamically at the time of the trace request.

By defining one or more traces to start automatically, a continuous workload history is available for later viewing or printing.

Important
