IV67532: JVMTRCE000E ISSUED WHEN SETTING TRACE OPTIONS AT RUN TIME.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: When setting multiple trace options at run time
  either via JVMTI or com.ibm.jvm.Trace.set() the messages
  JVMTRCE000E and JVMTRCE002E are issued. The options that were
  passed in are not shown in the error message.Example:JVMTRCE000E
  Trace option unrecognized: -Xtrace:JVMTRCE002E Error processing
  trace option: -Xtrace:=
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  

Local fix

• The problem is seen when more than two trace options are
  specified at once, for
  example:Trace.set("none=all,maximal=j9mm,maximal=j9trc,maximal=j
  9dmp,maximal=mt");If the options are passed individually the
  problem will not occur and the trace engine will be configured
  identically.Trace.set("none=all");Trace.set("maximal=j9mm");Trac
  e.set("maximal=j9trc");Trace.set("maximal=j9dmp");Trace.set("max
  imal=mt");
  

Problem summary

• The problem was caused by incorrect handling of the options
  string.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM has been updated to handle the options correctly.
