Issue/Introduction

What is the difference between the PRINTTRC DD and the TRCPRINT DD?

Environment

Release : 15.0

Component : CCS390 - COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS

Resolution

TRCPRINT is a DD that is shipped with the procs and can be uncommented if the CCI trace is needed to be activated at the time of startup for debugging purposes. 

PRINTTRC is a DD that would get dynamically allocated if the PRINTT command was issued against one of the CCI started tasks. 

PRINTTRC DD should not be hardcoded to the procs.

 

Additional Information

Note that the PRINTT command issued against ENF will dynamically generate a TRCPRINT DD.
