Client trace file

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 Options > Trace Settings.
