Tracing UNIX System Services (OMVS)

Setting a SECTRACE for USS directs the trace to the SMF file. There is no choice (as there is with TYPE=SAF or TYPE=SAFP) of:

• ID
• DEST
• FORMAT
• ACTION
• TRACE
• ENABLE|DISBALE

Note this ID, it is needed later to disable the SECTRACE.

The format to set an OMVS trace is:

SECTRACE SET,FUNC=function,END

For a list of valid functions, see OMVS Group Operands. The ID for the TRACE request is provided on the MVS console using the non‑rollable message

CAS2110I SECTRACE SET ON mm.ddd hh:mm:ss ID=TRACE001  

The SECTRACE remains active until it is disabled. In general, setting or enabling a SECTRACE should be performed only under the direction of CA Top Secret Support, as this can add considerable overhead to USS/OMVS operations.

Stop SECTRACE for OMVS

To stop he SECTRACE for OMVS, enter:
