Starting DTF

To start the Debug Trace Facility, execute a CICS transaction. The suggested name of this transaction is DTF. However, this name is changed when installing CA Gen. Contact your system support staff to determine the transaction name at your site. The documentation assumes that it is DTF.

The DTF command has the following format:

DTF command transaction [user ID] [terminal ID]

The arguments on the DTF transaction are positional. The command and transaction arguments are required. Although user ID and terminal ID are optional, include the user ID to specify the terminal ID because they are positional.
