The TRACEFILE parameter specifies
the file where Client trace messages are written, if tracing is enabled.
TRACEFILE=<filepath>- Description
- Specify the file name or fully qualified file name of the trace
file. If the file name is not fully qualified, the file is created
in the directory <product_data_path> on Windows
platforms and in /var/cicscli on UNIX and Linux
platforms. To minimize any performance impact, the trace file is written
out in binary format. To read it, convert the file to ASCII using
the cicsftrc command.
For more information about formatting the trace file, see Formatting the binary trace file.
This parameter is
in the CLIENT section of the configuration file.
- Default value
- If this parameter is not specified, by default trace output is
written to <product_data_path>\cicscli.bin on Windows platforms and to /var/cicscli/cicscli.bin on UNIX and Linux platforms.
- Configuration Tool
- In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of TRACEFILE in
the Client trace file field on the Trace
settings page. To find this page, click .
