CICS application trace (ATRAC)

Data collection must be activated by starting the trace before data can be displayed with the application trace services. A trace can be started by

  • using the Start Trace (ST) command on the CT view
  • using line commands in task-related views to start detail trace for an active transaction
  • defining ATRAC requests in an AUTOBLK member of your BBI-SS PAS BBPARM data set and referring to it in member BBIISP00 to start the requests automatically
  • writing an EXEC to issue the SET command for the ATRAC service

A BMC MainView AutoOPERATOR product must be installed.

Use the IMFEXEC IMFC command followed by the service name, optional parameters, and an identifier for the target CICS region:

 IMFEXEC IMFC SET REQ=ATRAC SUMTRC1 TYPE=SUMMARY ELAP=5.0 TARGET=cicsid
