Trace logging options

The following keywords define the defaults to allocate a trace log data set.

TRPREFIX=highLevel

TRPREFIX defines the high-level prefix of trace log data set names if the Log DSN field of the Start CICS Trace Request panel is specified without quotation marks.

If TRPREFIX is left blank, the ID of the user requesting the trace is the high-level qualifier of the trace log data set name.

Note

MainView for CICS generates a trace log data set name with TRPREFIX and the generated name cannot exceed 44 bytes. If the generated name exceeds 44 bytes, MainView for CICS excludes the date (mmmdd) node and, if necessary, the time (Thhmm) node from the generated name.

TRREUSE=Y | N

TRREUSE specifies whether the data within a trace log can be overwritten if it is not reset. The default is Y.

N (NO) indicates that data is not overwritten.

If the request specifies a 1 for the number of logs and N is defined for TRREUSE, data is not recorded. If the request specifies a 1 and Y is defined for TRREUSE, previously recorded data is overwritten.

TRVOLS=(vol1,vol2...vol7)

Define voln as the ID of the default volumes that are allocated for trace log data sets. Up to seven volumes can be specified. The default is SYSDA.

TRCYL=3 | nnn

TRCYL defines the default primary cylinder allocation (CYLS option) for trace log data sets. The default is 3. Valid values are 1 to 999.

TRSUFFIX=D | suffix

TRSUFFIX specifies the default suffix added to the trace cluster DSN (Data DSN Suffix option) to make the data set name for the data component. The default is D.

TRSMSSCL=name

TRSMSSCL defines the default name of the SMS storage class for trace log data set allocation. This keyword has no default value.

TRSMSDCL=name

TRSMSDCL defines the default name of the SMS data class for trace log data set allocation. This keyword has no default value.

TRSMSMCL=name

TRSMSMCL defines the default name of the SMS management class for trace log data set allocation. This keyword has no default value.
