Gateway trace file

The tfile parameter is the path name of the trace file where Gateway trace messages are written, if tracing is enabled.

tfile=<pathname>
Description
Set the value to the path name of the trace file. If you specify a file name without a path, the file is created in the <product_data_path> directory on Windows platforms and <install_path>/bin directory on UNIX platforms. No trace is written if the CICS® Transaction Gateway does not have permission to write to the file you specify. The trace file is overwritten, not appended to, each time the CICS Transaction Gateway starts. Turning on the Gateway trace has a significant impact on performance.

You can use the ctgservice -tfile=pathname on Windows or ctgstart -tfile=pathname on UNIX and Linux command to override the value of tfile. For more information, see Command reference.

This parameter is in the GATEWAY section of the configuration file.

Default value
If this parameter is not specified, by default trace output is written to <product_data_path>\gateway.trc on Windows platforms and stderr on UNIX platforms.
Configuration Tool
In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of tfile in the Gateway trace file field in the Trace setting page. To find this page, click Options > Trace Settings.
