Using the Trace Settings dialog
Notes:
- By default, you can use this facility only if you
have a security authorization level of 9.
- If a particular terminal user is logged in through
the IBM Session Manager Plug-in, you can not
start a trace for that user or for one of the user's sessions.
- If a trace is in progress then, when you open the
Trace Settings dialog, one or more of the dialog's checkboxes -
Data, MISER,
VTAM or NETDATA -
will be checked. For a description of these checkboxes, see below.
To specify the trace details
The following checkboxes in the Trace Settings dialog
are applicable both to tracing a mainframe terminal user and to tracing
a mainframe user's session:
Data
- Check this box to activate tracing routines for
the data flowing between the terminal user (or user's session) and the
application.
MISER
- The IBM Session Manager Network Data Minimizer, MISER, provides the facility
to reduce the amount of data traffic both to and from applications.
- Check this box to activate tracing routines for
the operation of MISER between the terminal user (or user's session)
and IBM Session Manager. Data
tracing is implied.
VTAM
- Check this box to activate tracing routines for
the VTAM data. Data tracing
is implied. This trace will show all VTAM events and the data flowing
between the terminal (or user's session) and the application.
NETDATA
- Check this box to activate tracing routines for
the operation of link traffic for network sessions. Data
tracing is implied. Tracing will be performed for all active tasks.
