The Batch Interface › PARM Parameters › TRACE

TRACE

Activates the internal CA XCOM Data Transport trace function as an alternative to the VTAM trace. The trace data, often useful in debugging problems, is sent to the SYSOUT class defined by the DUMPCL parameter.

level

A value from 0 through 9 which enables and specifies the level of the CA XCOM Data Transport trace function instead of the VTAM trace. Level 0 provides the minimal trace data while level 9 provides maximum trace data. Levels in between build incrementally on level 0.

YES

Use the CA XCOM Data Transport trace function instead of the VTAM trace. It will also force level 9 trace data.

NO

Do not use the CA XCOM Data Transport trace function.

Default: NO

TRANSFERS_ALLOWED

Specifies which types of transfers the CA XCOM Data Transport server is allowed to process.

ALL

All transfer types are allowed to be processed.

LOCAL

The server only processes locally initiated transfer requests.

REMOTE

The server only processes remotely initiated transfer requests.

NONE

The server will not process any transfer requests.

Default: ALL

Notes:

• All meta transfers, commands, inquiries, and history requests are processed by the server, regardless of the value selected.
• Transfers that are not processed remain on the queue in an inactive or remote suspended state. The transfers are subject to retries based on the server configuration.
• If the server participates in a PLEXQ or XCOMPLEX environment, a high ranking is applied to the server when locally initiated transfers are disabled. This prevents transfers that are submitted to the PLEXQ or XCOMPLEX from being rejected in the event the server is selected to process the request.
