Customizing GTF

You can customize GTF to the needs of your installation by either overriding IBM's defaults through the START GTF command, or providing your own parmlib member and cataloged procedure for GTF. Customize GTF in one of the following ways:

• Predefine the GTF trace options in a parmlib or data set member. See Defining GTF trace options.
• Set up a cataloged procedure. See Setting up a cataloged procedure.
• Override the defaults in the IBM® supplied GTF cataloged procedure using the START command. See Using the START command to invoke GTF.
• Determine how much storage GTF needs for the trace options you choose. See Determining GTF's storage requirements.
• Specify trace options directly through the console after entering the START command. See Specifying or changing GTF trace options through system prompting.
