Examples of requesting SYSXCF traces

In Figure 1, the CTnXCFxx member requests STORAGE and SIGNAL options. To minimize lost trace data, the member also starts external writer WTRDASD1 with the NOWRAP option specified and connects the trace to the writer.

Figure 1. Example: CTnXESxx member requesting a SYSXCF trace

TRACEOPTS
   WTRSTART(WTDASD1) NOWRAP
   ON
   WTR(WTDASD1)
   OPTIONS('STORAGE','SIGNAL')

The example shown in Figure 2 uses the TRACE command to request the same type of trace that is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 2. Example: TRACE command for SYSXCF trace

trace ct,wrtstart=wtdasd1
trace ct,on,comp=sysxcf
* 62 ITT006A ...
r 62,wtr=wtdasd1,options=(storage,signal),end
