Change the status of GTF tracing.
In the CICS Explorer, the Regions operations view provides
a functional equivalent to this command.
Description
You can use the SET
GTFTRACE command to switch CICS® tracing
to the MVS™ Generalized Tracing
Facility (GTF) on and off. This command is intended for use at terminals
that do not support the CETR full-screen tracing transaction.
For
guidance on using GTF tracing, see CICS GTF
trace.
Syntax
Press the Clear key to clear the screen.
There are two ways to start this transaction:
- Type CEMT SET GTFTRACE (or suitable abbreviations
for the keywords). The resulting display lists the current status,
similar to that obtained by using the CEMT INQUIRE GTFTRACE command.
You can tab to the highlighted field and overtype it with the required
value.
- Type CEMT SET GTFTRACE (or suitable abbreviations
for the keywords), followed by the attribute setting that you want
to change. For example, cemt s g sta starts CICS GTF tracing.
Typing ? at the beginning of either the
first or second line gives a syntax prompt. Resetting the values takes
effect immediately.
