CETR—trace control
The equal sign “=” can be used, when changing several
fields, to indicate that a particular field should be changed to
the same value as the one above.
The complete list of components is:
Components marked * are subcomponents of the AP
domain, and the trace entries for these components are
produced with a trace point ID of AP nnnn.
For information about the use of trace for problem
determination, and for information about the format of trace
entries, see the
CICS Problem Determination Guide
.
Note: The SZ component can be used only if the Front End
Programming Interface feature (FEPI) is installed. For
information, see the
CICS Front End Programming
Interface User's Guide
.
Note: If you use CETR to turn on tracing for a particular
component, CICS does not save modifications to the
component trace flags across any kind of CICS
restart.
Transaction and terminal-related trace
options
The “Transaction and Terminal Trace” display is produced by
pressing PF5 on the main CETR display. It can be used to
set STANDARD, SPECIAL, or SUPPRESSED tracing for
particular CICS tasks. This is done by setting the appropriate
value for the transaction ID used to start the task, or for the
terminal from which the task is to be run. Note that
SUPPRESSED cannot be set for terminals, only for
transaction IDs. The required terminal can also be specified
by using its netname.
Setting SPECIAL tracing for a particular transaction means
that the SPECIAL flags for each component (as defined on
the “Component Trace Options” display) is used to decide
whether a particular trace entry is to be made at any given
point in the process of the task.
The display layout is as follows:
CETR Transaction and Terminal Trace CI41 IYAHZCCV

A common way of using this display is to set the terminal
trace status for a particular terminal to SPECIAL, to have all
of the STANDARD component trace flags as level-1 only,
and the SPECIAL component trace flags as level-1 and
level-2. In this way, all tasks run from the SPECIAL terminal
have level-1 and level-2 tracing. All other tasks have level-1
tracing only.
For example, you can use SPECIAL tracing to trace a single
transaction. You can do this by setting the “master system
trace flag” OFF on the main CETR display. This turns
