Additional trace options
You can include the following parameters in the SMMSYSxx PARMLIB member to control tracing activity:
Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
MODTRCDD=ddname | PROMTRCE | Activates BMC AMI Storage module entry/exit tracing |
TRACEDD=ddname | PROTRACE | Activates standard BMC AMI Storage tracing (as in TRACE=job name) |
IGNOREDD=ddname | PROIGN | Deactivates BMC AMI Storage for the duration of the job step |
DUMPDD=ddname | PRODUMP | Produces a SYS1.DUMPxx dump if BMC AMI Storage abends |
DIAGMSDD=ddname | PRO$D$M$ | Activates WTO message tracing |
If you include in a job step the DD name that is specified in the tracing DD parameter, all BMC AMI Storage activity for the job step is traced or not traced (if you specify IGNOREDD).
TRACEDD is the same trace as produced by the TRACE parameter in the function definition in SMFUNCxx. IGNOREDD can be useful when a quick override to a BMC AMI Storage rule is needed. The other three tracing DD parameters are primarily for use by BMC personnel in resolving problems.
The BMC AMI Storage connections are not invoked into the operating system early enough for the following functions to be displayed in the DD name-activated trace:
- DSNCHECK
- SMSACSDC
- SMSACSMC
- SMSACSSC
- SMSACSSG
- SMSACSTE
You can use the TRACE=YES parameter in the SMDIAGxx member to activate tracing for these or any other functions.
Sample JCL statements are as follows:
//PROIGN DD DUMMY
//PRO$D$M$ DD DUMMY
//PROTRACE DD DUMMY
//PRODUMP DD DUMMY
