Tracing can adversely impact the performance of msys for Setup. Use the tracing function only as instructed by a support team.
You can set the trace level separately for the host and for the workplace. The selective tracing facility allows you to narrow the scope of a trace.
The workplace trace files are written to the workstation directory where the workplace has been installed.
The host trace files are written to the directory that you have specified as the host log directory when you added the respective z/OS system to the workplace (see Log Directory).
