Analyzing Traces

z/OS MVS IPCS User's Guide
SA23-1384-00

MVS™ has a number of tracing facilities. The system saves these traces in storage buffers and can, for traces from the generalized tracing facility (GTF) or component trace, write the trace records to data sets.

Using IPCS you can format the entries of any trace in a dump or trace data set. You can also do the following with GTF and component trace records:
  • Selectively format records without deleting the unformatted data from the buffer or dump
  • Find the system and time stamp for each record.
  • Mix formatted GTF and component trace records without combining the unformatted data.
  • Reduce the number of records in a trace data set
  • Extract trace buffers from dumps
  • Combine a GTF or component trace records into a single data set from multiple trace data sets.
