9. z/OS trace facilities
Another useful source of diagnostic data is the trace. Tracing collects information that identifies ongoing events that occur over a period of time. Some traces are running all the time so that trace data will be available in the event of a failure. Other traces must be explicitly started to trace a defined event.
In this chapter, the following trace activity is described:
GTF trace
Component trace
Master trace
GFS trace
System trace
SMS tracing
