TRACE Keyword—Diagnostic Trace Activation

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the TRACE keyword to activate a diagnostic trace on all ACID activity (initiations, resource access, violations, user's security mode).

Where CA Top Secret records trace information depends on the settings of the SECTRACE control option.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) TRACE

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE, ADDTO, and REMOVE
• The ACID types User, Profile, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• MISC9(TRACE) authority

Examples: TRACE keyword

This example activates a diagnostic trace to solve an authorization problem:

1. Enter the command:

   TSS ADDTO(USER01) TRACE
   

2. Enter the command:

   TSS MODIFY(SECTRACE(ACT,WTO|WTL))
   

   ACT

   Activates the trace.

   WTO

   Sends trace information to the security console.

   WTL

   Sends trace information to SYSLOG.

   When USER01 runs a job, trace information is sent to the destination(s) specified in Step 2.

For information on how to interpret the resulting trace, see the Troubleshooting Guide .

This example removes the TRACE attribute:

TSS REMOVE(USER01) TRACE
