In the CICS Explorer, the Regions operations view provides
a functional equivalent to this command.
Syntax
Press the Clear key to clear the screen.
There are two ways of starting this transaction:
- Type CEMT SET AUXTRACE (or suitable abbreviations
for the keywords). The resulting display lists the current status,
similar to that obtained by using the CEMT INQUIRE AUXTRACE command.
You can tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype them with
the required values.
- Type CEMT SET AUXTRACE (or suitable abbreviations
for the keywords), followed by one or more attribute settings that
you want to change. For example, cemt s aux sto a stops
auxiliary tracing and causes automatic switching to occur as necessary.
Typing ? at the beginning of either the
first or second line gives a syntax prompt. Resetting the values takes
effect immediately.

Options
- ALL
- Specifies
that automatic switching between the two auxiliary trace data sets
occurs as necessary until the end of this CICS® session, without the need for operator
intervention.
- NEXT
- Automatic
switching of the auxiliary trace data set occurs when the current
trace data set is full, but not subsequently.
- NOSWITCH
- Switching
between the auxiliary trace data sets does not occur without operator
intervention.
- PAUSE
- Auxiliary
tracing stops, but the data set remains open. A subsequent START request
causes trace entries to be written immediately following those that
were written before the PAUSE request.
- START
- CICS starts auxiliary tracing and
opens the auxiliary trace data set if it is currently closed.
- STOP
- CICS stops auxiliary tracing and
closes the auxiliary trace data set. A subsequent START request causes
new trace entries to be written at the start of the data set, thereby
overwriting the trace entries that were written before the STOP request.
- SWITCH
- Specifies
that an immediate switch from the current auxiliary trace data set
is to be made to the alternate trace data set.
