Issue/Introduction
Introduction:
Datacom CICS Services has an internal trace that tracks all the requests that are issued to Datacom.
TRACE parameter of DBCVTPR macro is used to setup this facility. By default, this parameter is set to (ON,1000), which means that the trace is activated when the Datacom CICS Service starts and contains up to 1000 trace entries.
Trace criteria can be set up using the DBOC TRACE,option transaction. Use DBOC TRACE without options to display the current criteria.
Background:
For monitoring purpose, a Datacom customer would like to know which are the latest CICS transactions that issued Datacom requests or which Datacom tables a CICS transaction is reading/updating. This information can be extracted from the Datacom accounting tables, if they are active, but a quickest method is using the internal trace of Datacom CICS Services.
Environment:
Datacom/DB with Datacom CICS Services
Instructions:
If the internal trace is not active, it can be activated using the DBOC GENOPTS panel.
When it is active, issue the DBOC INQ=TRACE transaction. It returns a screen like the following one, which can be scrolled up and down:
