If your application is running under TSO or batch, and an EDCTRACE
DD is not specified, Language Environment writes the trace to the
batch log (SYSOUT=* by default). You can change the SYSOUT class by
specifying an EDCTRACE DD, or by setting the environment variable,
_CEE_DMPTARG=SYSOUT(x), where x is the preferred SYSOUT class.
If your application is running under z/OS UNIX and is either running
in an address space that you issued a fork() to, or if it is invoked
by one of the exec family of functions, the trace is written to the
UNIX file system. Language Environment writes the trace to one of
the following directories in the specified order:
- The directory found in environment variable _CEE_DMPTARG, if the
directory is found.
- The current working directory, as long as the directory is writable
and the EDCTRACE path name does not exceed 1024 characters.
- The directory found in environment variable TMPDIR, which is an
environment variable that indicates the location of a temporary directory
if it is not /tmp.
- The /tmp directory.
The name of the file uses the following format:
/path/EDCTRACE.Date.Time.Pid
- path
- Path determined from the previous algorithm.
- Date
- Date that the trace is taken, appearing in the format YYYYMMDD.
For example, 20071122 is for November 22, 2007.
- Time
- Time that the trace is taken, appearing in the format HHMMSS.
For example, 115601 is for 11:56:01 a.m.
- Pid
- Process ID in which the application is running when the trace
is taken.
