Use the IPCS MERGE subcommand to merge multiple traces into one
chronological sequence. The traces can be all of the following:
- Component traces from the same dump on direct access storage (DASD)
- Component traces from different dumps on DASD
- GTF trace records from a dump or data set and on tape or DASD
In
Figure 1, the MERGE subcommand is used to consolidate
and format data from 3 systems, in data sets GTF.SYS04, GTF.SYS05,
and GTF.SYS06, into one chronological sequence in output data set,
GTF.SYSALL.
