Host trace level
Use the "Host trace level" panel to set the trace level for the host
functions. Tracing provides more detailed information on the msys for
Setup processing than the reports do. 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 Workstation 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).
Steps to set the host trace level:
- Click Options --> Preferences... on the
menu. The "Workplace preferences" panel is displayed.
- Click the "Host 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 "Workstation trace level" tab to
also set the workstation trace level.
