Question:  

I am getting many trace entries in the ACFRPTRV report for VTAM like the following. How do I stop this?

The ACF2 report ACFRPTRV may show thousands of trace entries from VTAM. A sample of the loggings look like this:

08.056 02/25 04.19 STCINRDR VTAM     VTAM     VTAM STARTED TASK    RULE   TRC      PALU-XXXVTAM.DDDDDDD
   0   0   0   0   0 VT        AM              FFFF ACF9CAUD    -   -
 
PALU-XX1XXX.XXXVTAM.XX1XXX.DDDDDDD                                           
SAF RESOURCE CLASS APPCLU
 
RESOURCE NAME: XXXVTAM.DDDDDDD  

Answer: 

A SECTRACE of the event shows this:

SMFID= FFFF         TOD= 14:13:30.58    TRACEID= SYSX       USERID=VTAM   
 JOBNAME= VTAM       ASID= 0061          PGM= *SRB*          CURR RB=*SRB* 
 SFR/RFR= 0/0:0      MODE= SRB           APF= AUTHORIZED     LOCKS= NONE   
 SAFDEF= AUDITRSC INTERNAL MODE= GLOBAL                                    
                                                                           
 RACROUTE REQUEST=AUDIT,CLASS='APPCLU',RELEASE=1.9,RESULT=SUCCESS,         
          ACEE=,ENTITYX=('XXXVTAM.DDDDDDD'),                   
          EVENT='APPCLU',EVQUAL=0001,MSGSP=0,WORKA= 

This shows that VTAM is requesting an AUDIT record to be cut for a successful event. To set up ACF2 to stop the SMF records from being cut, a SAFDEF record may be inserted. Here is a sample SAFDEF record to insert for the sample we have been displaying:

ACF
SET CONTROL(GSO)
INSERT SAFDEF.VTAMAUD ID(VTAMAUD) JOBNAME(VTAM) MODE(IGNORE) FUNCRET(0) RETCODE(0) FUNCRSN(0) 
   RACROUTE(REQUEST=AUDIT, CLASS=APPCLU,EVENT=APPCLU,RESULT=SUCCESS)
