The CEBT INQUIRE and SET commands allow you to query or set:
Function
Return information about the status of auxiliary trace.
Description
Auxiliary trace entries are made to a pair of CICS-controlled BSAM data
sets, ‘A’ and ‘B’.
CEBT INQUIRE AUXTRACE tells you:
- Whether the auxiliary trace data set is open or closed
- Which of the auxiliary trace data sets is active, Cur(A) or Cur(B)
- Whether an auxiliary trace is in progress (started) or not (stopped).
For background information about auxiliary tracing, see the CICS® Problem Determination Guide.
Input
Press the Clear key and type CEBT INQUIRE AUXTRACE (the minimum
abbreviation is CEBT I AUX).
To change various attributes, use the CEBT SET AUXTRACE command.

CEBT INQUIRE AUXTRACE
>>-CEBT Inquire Auxtrace---------------------------------------><
Displayed fields
- All
- Automatic switching occurs as necessary until the end of this CICS session
without the need for operator intervention.
- Auxiliary
- identifies this panel as relating to auxiliary trace.
- Current(A|B)
- displays a 1-character identifier of the current auxiliary data set, which
can be ‘A’ or ‘B’. This value is blank if there is no auxiliary
trace data set.
- Next
- Automatic switching occurs when the current trace data set is full,
but not subsequently.
- Noswitch
- Switching does not occur without operator intervention.
- Pause
- Auxiliary tracing has stopped, but the trace data set has been left
open. A subsequent START request causes trace entries to be written immediately
following those that were written before the PAUSE request.
- Start
- Auxiliary tracing is in progress.
- Stop
- Auxiliary tracing has stopped.
- Switch
- displays the information that an immediate switch is being made from the
current auxiliary trace data set to the alternate trace data set.
Function
Retrieve information about the CICS dump data sets.
Description
CEBT INQUIRE DUMP tells you which dump data set (A or B) is currently open.
For general information about dumps, see the CICS Problem Determination Guide.
Input
Press the Clear key and type CEBT INQUIRE DUMP (the minimum
abbreviation is CEBT I DU).
To change various attributes, use the CEBT SET DUMP command.

CEBT INQUIRE DUMP
>>-CEBT Inquire Dump-------------------------------------------><
Displayed fields
- Autoswitch
- The switch occurs only when the active dump data
set is full, but not subsequently.
- Closed
- The active CICS dump data set is closed.
- Currentdds(value)
- displays a 1-character indicator as to which of the two dump data sets
is active. This can be A or B.
- Dump
- indicates that this panel relates to a dump data set inquiry.
- Noautoswitch
- When the active dump data set is full, there is not to be an automatic
switch to the inactive dump data set.
Note:
Because this is a ‘negative’
attribute, the field appears blank.
- Open
- The active CICS dump data set is open.
- Switch
- The currently active dump data set is to become inactive, and the currently
inactive data set is to become active.
Function
Description
CEBT INQUIRE GTFTRACE tells you whether CICS tracing to the MVS Generalized
Tracing Facility (GTF) is started or stopped.

full-screen tracing transaction.
For information about GTF tracing, see the CICS Problem Determination Guide
and the CICS Performance Guide.
Input
Press the Clear key and type CEBT INQUIRE GTFTRACE (the minimum
abbreviation is CEBT I G).
To change various attributes, use the CEBT SET GTFTRACE command.

CEBT INQUIRE GTFTRACE

Displayed fields
- Gtftrace
- indicates that this panel relates to a GTFTRACE inquiry.
- Start
- CICS tracing to the MVS Generalized Tracing Facility (GTF) is in progress.
- Stopped
- CICS tracing to the MVS Generalized Tracing Facility (GTF) is not in
progress.
Function
Show the status of CICS internal tracing.
Description
CEBT INQUIRE INTTRACE tells you whether CICS internal tracing is in progress.
This command is intended for use at terminals that do not support the full-screen
tracing transaction CETR.
Input
Press the Clear key and type CEBT INQUIRE INTTRACE (the minimum
abbreviation is CEBT I IN).
To change various attributes, use the CEBT SET INTTRACE command.

- Stopped
- CICS internal tracing is not in progress.
Function
Display whether surveillance (or tracking) of the active CICS system by
the alternate CICS system is ON or OFF.
Input
Press the Clear key and type CEBT INQUIRE SURVEILLANCE (the
minimum abbreviation is CEBT I SU).
To change various attributes, use the CEBT SET SURVEILLANCE command.
