Workstation trace level
Use the "Workstation trace level" panel to set the trace level for the
workstation. There are separate traces for the workstation and the host
processing on each z/OS system. You set the trace level for the
workstation and for the z/OS systems separately. See Host trace level for setting the workstation trace.
Before you begin:
- Traces with high trace levels can be extensive and can adversely affect
the performance. Only change the trace levels from the default, level
2, if instructed to do so by IBM support.
- You can use selective tracing to narrow the scope of a trace to individual
service instances and individual requests (see Selective trace).
- Workplace trace information is written to trace files
CimWorkplace.trc for the msys for Setup framework and <service
name>.trc for the individual services. These files are
written to the workplace directory. The service trace files are
overwritten each time the workplace is started. For
CimWorkplace.trc there is always one prior trace preserved as
CimWorkplace.old. If you want to keep a trace file, rename it or
copy it to a different directory.
Steps to set the workstation trace level:
- Click Options --> Preferences... on the
menu. The "Workplace preferences" panel is displayed.
- Click the "Workstation trace level" tab.
- To set the trace level drag the slider to the desired position between
"No trace" (level 0) and "Full trace" (level 9). While you
move the slider, the current level and an explanation of what is traced at
that level are displayed to the left of the slider scale.
- Click OK or click the "Host trace level" tab to also set
the host trace level.
