Starting GTF for DB2 accounting, statistics and tuning

Instead of, or in addition to, recording accounting, statistics and performance data to SMF, DB2® allows you to send this data to generalized trace facility (GTF). DB2 provides -START TRACE and -STOP TRACE commands which you can issue from a CICS® terminal using the DSNC transaction. The commands can be used to specify:

Trace scope
either GLOBAL for DB2 subsystem activity, PERF for performance, ACCTG for accounting, STAT for statistics, or MONITOR for monitoring activity.
Trace destination
GTF, in main storage, or SMF.
Trace constraints
specific plans, authorization IDs, classes, location and resource managers.
