Initiating/Terminating the Trace Facility (TRACEON/TRACEOFF)

You can use the DBCVTPR TRACE= parameter or the DBOC GENOPTS command to automatically activate the CA Datacom/DB Trace Facility when CA Datacom CICS Services is initiated. See the System Reference Guide.

You can also initiate and terminate the Trace Facility manually by invoking the following DBOC transactions:

►►─ DBOC ─┬─ TRACEON ──┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄
          └─ TRACEOFF ─┘

DBOC
