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 name without a path, the file is created
in the <install_path>/bin 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 ctgstart -tfile=pathname command
to override the value of tfile. For more information,
see Options on the ctgstart command.
This parameter is in the GATEWAY section of the configuration
file.
