Formatting a SYSXCF trace

Format the trace with an IPCS CTRACE COMP(SYSXCF) subcommand. The OPTIONS parameter specifies the options that select trace records to be formatted. Your formatting options depend to a great extent on the tracing options you requested. Use the options to narrow down the records displayed so that you can more easily locate any errors. If the CTRACE subcommand specifies no options, IPCS displays all the trace records.

The options are:
ARM
Formats trace records for automatic restart management services.
CFRM
Formats trace records for coupling facility resource management services.
CLUSTER
Formats trace records for XCF z/OS® cluster manageable resource services.
GROUP
Formats trace records for XCF group services, such as groups joining or disassociating from XCF services.

STATUS

STORAGE

THREAD=(thread, [ ,thread]...)
Formats trace records filtered by one or more specific trace threads. The XCF component trace thread filter option provides the capability to limit the presentation of trace entries to specified trace threads. XCF uses trace threads to correlate processing of units of work between the subcomponents of the XCF component. You can enter trace threads entered in hexadecimal notation using x'tttttttt' or tttttttt notation (for example, x'01001768' or 01001768) with or without the leading x and surrounding quotes (').
