Information

This site will undergo maintenance on Friday, 26 September at 2:00 AM CDT / 12:30 PM IST and may experience a short period of instability during that time.

Using the history traces application


The History Traces application, or HT view, displays current and historical trace log data sets.

From the HT view you can navigate to the STRAC view and other trace views in the same way as for a current trace. The Type field will say History instead of Current. The DSN field will also have the trace log data set name that you selected.

The HT view displays a menu with one row per log data set in the directory. The initial display is in descending order of date and time but can be sorted by any column. For example, sort by the Trace ID field if you want to see all the data sets for one trace together.
