Set up trace logging

Before any trace can be started with trace logging, the following items must be in place:

  • A trace directory must be allocated, initialized, and identified to BBI.

    The trace directory keeps track of all trace log data sets. There is one trace directory per BBI-SS PAS that is dynamically allocated when the BBI-SS PAS starts. It is a VSAM linear data set containing one entry for each trace log data set. Each entry indicates the date and time of data set creation, the current status of the data set, the trace target, and other related information. Entries can be added to or deleted from the directory with the History Traces application.

    You can set up the trace directory manually or have it set up during customization.

  • One or more trace log data sets must be allocated.

    When you request a trace, you can specify options to dynamically allocate trace log data sets or you can use sample batch jobs to preallocate the data sets.
