MSO Diagnostic Facilities

None of the diagnostic facilities require APF authorization.

IBISNAP = class

where:

class

Specifies the SYSOUT class to use for dumps produced by the Snapshot Facility. This can be overridden by allocating ddname IBISNAP in the MSO JCL.

Default: A

SNAPEXCLUDE = cccc,rrrr

where:

cccc

Is the abend completion code.

rrrr

Is the reason code.

For example:

In FOCMSO:

SNAPEXCLUDE = S913,U1010*

The S is required in the abend code and the U is required in the reason code. Trailing asterisks are permitted. They denote that any character may follow. To specify multiple abend codes it is necessary to use multiple SNAPEXCLUDE cards.

A new message

(MSO13277) >>>> IBISNAP WILL BE SUPPRESSED FOR ABEND S913,* <<<<

displays in the JES Message Log to list all currently active SNAPECLUDEs.

Default: None

TRACECLASS = class

where:

class

Specifies the SYSOUT class to use for traces produced by FOCUS. When traces are directed to SYSOUT, they may be printed, or they may be browsed with a tool such as SDSF. Information Builders recommends using a held SYSOUT class for traces.

Default: A

TRACELIB = dsname

where:

dsname

Specifies the library in which to store traces produced by FOCUS. This file must be a PDSE. Specifying TRACELIB causes TRACECLASS to be ignored.

Default: None

TRACEPREF = specification

where:

specification

Specifies sequential files to which traces produced by FOCUS will be written. The specification may include the special names "&USER" and "&TRACE," which will be replaced with the userid and trace ID, respectively. For example, the following specifications might be used:

TRACEPREF = &USER..FOCTRACE.&TRACE 

TRACEPREF = MSO.TRACE.&TRACE

Specification of &USER and &TRACE generates unique data set names, and will thus prevent traces from overwriting older traces. Specifying TRACEPREF causes TRACECLASS and TRACELIB to be ignored.

Default: None
