CA SymDump System Reports › CICS Trace Dialog

CICS Trace Dialog

The CICS Trace Dialog is available for CICS dumps when the #CICSTRA command appears in the OPTLIB member during dump capture. You can also create this report dynamically from the dump viewer using the CTRACE command. Use this interactive dialog to view the CICS internal trace table, formatted by the CICS trace formatter.

To view this report, the CADVCICS DD must allocate a concatenation of the SDFHLOAD and SDFHLINK libraries for your CICS release when the viewer is started. If you use multiple CICS releases, you can concatenate the libraries for multiple releases.

The CICS Trace dialog enables you to view the internal trace in any of the formats provided by the CICS trace formatter program. This includes abbreviated, short, and full trace formats. The dialog also provides filters that let you to customize the view by selecting only the entries that interest you, and line commands that allow you to zoom in for full details on individual entries.

When the dialog is first appears, the unfiltered trace table is displayed in the abbreviated format, and the filters are disabled, as shown here:
