The values for the OPTIONS parameter for the CTnXCFxx parmlib member
and reply for a TRACE command, in alphabetical order, are:
- ARM
- Traces events for automatic restart management services.
- CFRM
- Traces events for coupling facility resource management services.
- GROUP
- Traces events for group services, such as XCF groups joining or disassociating from XCF services.
- GRPNAME=(groupname[,groupname]...)
- Reduces tracing to events for only the specified XCF groups. If GRPNAME is specified, the GROUP, SERIAL, SIGNAL, and STATUS options are filtered by the specified XCF group or groups; the STORAGE option is not filtered by GRPNAME. You can specify up to 8 XCF groups.
- MODID=(modid [ ,modid]...)
- Reduces tracing of all events to only the specified XCF module IDs. You can specify up to eight XCF Module IDs. Use XCF Module ID tracing only when requested by IBM® Support.
NOTEPAD
- Traces events for XCF note pad services processing.
- NPNAME=(npname[,npname]...)
- Reduces tracing of NOTEPAD events related to XCF note pad services
processing to only the specified note pad names or note pad names
that match the specified note pad name patterns. If NPNAME is specified,
the NOTEPAD option trace events are filtered by the specified note
pad names. You can specify up to four note pad names or note pad name
patterns. To be valid, each npname must meet the
following conditions:
- A note pad name can consist of two to four sections separated by periods.
- If a section is not specified, it is defaulted to all blanks.
- The first and the second sections must not be blank.
- Each section, if specified, must be left-justified with no trailing blanks.
- Each section can contain up to eight upper case alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9), national (@,#,$), or underscore (_) characters.
- Any section can contain the asterisk (*) wild card character, which is used to match zero (0) or more characters (for example, OWN*.*).
- SERIAL
- Traces events for serialization services.
- SERVER
- Traces events for client/server services processing.
- SFM
- Traces events for sysplex failure management services.
- SIGNAL
- Traces events for signalling services processing.
- STATUS
- Traces events for XCF monitoring services and sysplex partitioning services.
- STORAGE
- Traces events for storage management services.
- SRVNAME=(servername [,servername]...)
- Reduces tracing of SERVER events related to XCF client/server
processing to only the specified server names or server names that
match the specified server name patterns. If SRVNAME is specified,
the SERVER option trace events are filtered by the specified server
names. You can specify up to 4 server names/server name patterns.
To be valid, the server name must meet the following conditions:
- Server names consist of one to four 8 byte sections separated by a period.
- If a section is not specified, it is defaulted to all blanks.
- Each section can contain any alphanumeric (A-Z,a-z,0-9), national (@,#,$), or underscore (_) character.
- Any section but the first can be entirely blank.
- Any section can contain the asterisk (*) wild card character which is used to match zero (0) or more characters (for example, SYS*.*)
- The server name can be enclosed within single quotes to preserve case sensitivity (for example, 'sysxcf.*')
