Creating or modifying a trace table

A trace table is a storage area that Job Optimizer uses to keep trace information about the MainView Batch Optimizer Subsystem (MBOS).

Use the BSL TRTABLE command to create or modify a trace table in the extended common storage area (ECSA). This command creates a trace table if one does not currently exist. Use the MODIFY parameter to set or change the table size.

To create or modify a trace table

Enter the following command:

mbos BSL TRTABLE [MODIFY nnnn | RESET | DELETE]

  • mbos - The subsystem ID of the MainView Batch Optimizer Subsystem that is active on the IBM MVS image.
  • nnnn - The number of entries in the trace table. Valid values are 255 to 65535.

Value

Description

MODIFY nnnn

Creates the table of the specified size (nnnn) in ECSA
For example, issuing the MBOS BSL TRTABLE MODIFY 65000 command creates a 4-MB ECSA table.

RESET

Clears all entries in the trace table

DELETE

Frees the trace table

Note

(PTF BPB1553 applied) During initialization, the BSL TRTABLE command creates a 1-MB trace table. After you apply this PTF, the BSL$NTRC DD statement in the MainView Batch Optimizer Subsystem prevents creating the default trace table.
