Use the IDAVDTxx parmlib member to enable VSAM record management
trace and define the trace parameter for any VSAM data set dynamically
when diagnostic data is required.
You can predefine up to the maximum of 8 trace entries with different
trace parameters. Each trace entry will consist of the target data
set name, the target job name, and the usual trace parameters. When
the trace entries are defined, you can use the START console command
to call IDAVDT to enable VSAM record management trace. After you start
IDAVDT, you can interact with IDAVDT by the MODIFY command to perform
the following functions:
- READIN
- Parse the trace entries in the specified IDAVDTxx parmlib member
and insert it into the dynamic trace save area located in common storage.
- ENABLE
- Enable a specific trace entry that is stored in the dynamic trace
area.
- DISABLE
- Disable a specific trace entry that is stored in the dynamic trace
area.
- DISPLAY
- Display a specific trace entry that is stored in the dynamic trace
area.
- VALIDATE
- Validate a specific trace entry, or all trace entries, that are
stored in the dynamic trace area.
- INVALIDATE
- Invalidate a specific trace entry, or all trace entries, that
are stored in the dynamic trace area.
