Why can't module TIRTRCE be located?

Resolution

• The Diagram Trace Facility (DTF) is not supported for IMS, so there is no IMPORT CODE statement for TIRTRCE generated.
• To run with DTF requires targeting CICS or selecting "Target TSO test facility" in the Generation options.
• For the "TSO test facility" only Block Mode and Batch applications are supported and tracing server applications is not supported. Tracing servers requires the use of DTF.
