Capturing Information

There are several different facilities and methods that are used to capture information about the processing of a CA Gen component. These facilities include:

• Diagnostic log files that receive diagnostic and status messages
• Messages that display on screen
• The CLIST DEBUG parameter that can be used to set various debugging and tracing options for a single CLIST
• The TIUDEBUG facility that can be used to set various debugging and tracing options for all CLISTs
• The Event Trace Facility (ETF) that captures real-time event data from key areas of the generator
• The auxiliary trace file that captures binary data and the CA Gen ETFFMTX utility that formats it
