SAF SECTRACE at SAF Initialization

SAF SECTRACE may be set during the SAF initialization process when problems are encountered by creating the member, CAISEC00, in SYS1.PARMLIB. This member may contain one of the one‑line entries below:

PROMPT
  or
TRACE(zz,{NOSTART|START})

The first entry indicates that the message CAS2070I is generated at the system console.

The second entry indicates that ST SAF SECTRACE commands are read from member CAITRCzz; the operand, NOSTART or START, is used to indicate if SAF initialization should suppress or start the commands in the member.

Example: Installation Defaults

The Installation Guide provides the following default member CAISEC00 and CAITRC00.

CAISEC00:
	TRACE(00,NOSTART)

This member associates SAF initialization with ST command member CAITRC00, but does not start the commands in that member. The commands provided in CAITRC00 are:

CAITRC00:
	ST SET,ID=SAFINIT,DEST=SMF,END

Note: The SAF SECTRACE at SAF initialization should be directed to SMF, because it is probable that JES SYSTEM LOFG is not available at the time the trace begins.

Example: Prompted Implementation

When directed by support, implement a prompted SAF SECTRACE for OMVS with members:

CAISEC00:
	PROMPT

This member automatically generates the message, CAS2070I, prompting the console operator to choose at IPL whether to initiate a SAF SECTRACE specification or to default.
