Importing and registering a trace log data set


You can use the History Traces view (HT) to manually add trace log data sets to the trace directory.

For example, you can move the data sets from one system to another. Enter the data set name only. The application automatically verifies each name you enter.

To import and register a trace log data set (TLDS)

  1. On the History Traces view (HT) use one of the following commands:

    • NEW primary command
    • N (New) line command; information from the log data set for the row is used to populate the Create Trace Directory Entries dialog

    The Create Trace Directory Entries dialog is displayed, shown in the following figure:
