GTFPARM -- Parameters to control GTF

TRACE=SYS,SRM,PCI,DSP                                                   00000010

Parameter in IEASYSxx

None

Notes

  1. This member is read only when the operator issues START GTF.

  2. It is not used during system initialization.

Syntax

bullet

Specify the TRACE keyword and its main options only on the first record.

bullet

The second and subsequent records should only contain "prompting" keywords.

bullet

An END statement or an end-of-file must follow all prompting keywords.

bullet

If you need to specify additional operands for the same keyword, restate the keyword and the additional operands on a subsequent record.

ParameterMeaning and Use
SYSRequests comprehensive recording for six system events: I/O, SIO, SVC, program, external interruptions, and entry to recovery routines (RR).
SYSPIs similar to the SYS parameter except that GTF prompts for particular events (e.g., address of I/O device or SVC number).
SYSMIs similar to the SYS parameter except that minimal trace data are recorded for the six events.
SIORequests comprehensive recording for system SIO operations.
SIOPSimilar to the SIO parameter except that GTF prompts for the addresses of specific devices for which SIO events should be recorded.
IORequests comprehensive recording for all non-PCI I/O interruptions.  To obtain recording of PCI interruptions, specify PCI.  Both options may be specified.
IOPSimilar to the IO parameter except that GTF prompts for the addresses of specific devices for which IO interruptions should be recorded.
SVCRequests comprehensive recording for all system SVC interruptions.
SVCPSimilar to the IO parameter except that GTF prompts for the specific SVC number for which interruptions should be recorded.
PIRequests comprehensive recording for all program interruptions (1-19).
PIPSimilar to the PI parameter except that GTF prompts for the specific interruption codes for which data will be recorded.
EXTRequests comprehensive recording for all external interruptions.
RRReqeusts that uses of recovery routines (FRRs and STAE/ESTAE routines) be recorded.  The trace record is generated when the recovery routine returns control to the recovery termination manager (RTM).
DSPRequests recording for the local dispatching of units of work (service request block (SRB) and TCB).
PCIRequests that PCI interruptions be recorded in the same format as other requested I/O trace records.  If specific I/O device addresses are specified through prompting records, the PCI interruptions will be recorded for the same devices.
SRMRequests a trace entry each time that the system resource manager (SRM) is invoked.
TRCRequests that traced events include those related to GTF processing itself.  If not specified, GTF-related events will be excluded from the trace output.
USRRequests that user data passed to GTF via the GTRACE macro be recorded.
ENDThis parameter indicated the end of the prompting records.
