When the Sysout capture file reaches 80% utilization or higher a message similar to the following is issued:
*TRACWARN – DATA AREA OF CAPTURE FILE IS nn% FULL
If maintenance is not done on a regular basis, the Sysout capture file will eventually become full.
Component: JOBTRC R11.0
The TRACWARN – DATA AREA OF CAPTURE FILE IS nn% FULL message can occur as a result of maintenance for the capture file not being performed on a regular basis or a need to enlarge the sysout capture file.
Increased Jobtrac scheduling activity can also increase the frequency of this message.
-- Back up capture file
-- Allocate a new file
-- Format the file
-- Copy your data into the new file.
-- Rename old Capture DSN to .OLD
-- Rename new Capture to your old Capture DSN.
-- Restart Jobtrac
For sample JCL see SAMPJCL member CAPMOVE.
<note> Renames will need to be done after running CAPMOVE.
Additional information can be found in the Jobtrac Report, Maintenance and Recovery Guide in the section entitled Modifying the Sysout Capture File.
