Using Traces

Each trace is associated with a trace level and a default ddname. Using a FOCUS SET command, you must turn on each trace level you want to generate prior to issuing the request to be traced. When turning a trace on, you can also change its associated ddname. You must make sure that the relevant ddnames are allocated prior to activating each trace.

The following trace levels are available for the CA-IDMS Data Adapter:

• Level 1 (default ddname FSTRACE) shows each call to IDMS and its result.
• Level 2 (default ddname FSTRACEP) shows each call to IDMS and, additionally, all control blocks and parameters passed to and from IDMS.
