The CICSPlex® SM trace facilities provide a detailed record of every exception condition that occurs. They can also be used to
trace various aspects of component processing.
In CMASs and MASs, CICSPlex SM writes user trace records to the CICS® trace data
set, as follows:
- If any local MAS is in communication with a CMAS, trace data is shipped
from the MAS to the CMAS, and a full, formatted trace record is produced.
- If any local MAS is not in communication with a CMAS (either because
the Communications component is not yet active or because there is a problem
with Communications itself):
- A full, formatted trace record is produced if the MAS itself is running CICS/ESA 4.1
(or later).
- An abbreviated trace record is produced if the MAS is not running CICS/ESA 4.1
(or later).
