Activating network traces

You can activate VTAM® traces when you start VTAM, using the TRACE option on the START command, or you can activate them when VTAM is already running, using the MODIFY TRACE command. This information shows the format of both commands for each type of trace.

Rules:

The TRACE start option and its qualifiers must be coded on one line.
The GTF must be active to record VTAM traces externally.

Note: VTAM Internal Traces wrap. VTAM External Traces may or may not wrap, depending on the media and GTF specifications.

For more information on activating these traces and optional operands not shown in this table, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference and z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation.
