TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# Appendix B. Running Traces

To solve a communication problem, TIBCO Support might ask you to take a trace of the activity in error. This appendix describes the two types of traces that you might be asked to take: Platform Server internal trace and VTAM buffer trace.

## Running the Platform Server Internal Trace

The Platform Server can trace either VTAM or TCP communications. The following operator commands activate the respective traces:

- VTAM trace: `F FUSION,TRON`
- TCP trace: `F FUSION,TCPTRON`

Traces are turned off by the following operator commands:

- VTAM trace: `F FUSION,TROFF`
- TCP trace: `F FUSION, TCPTROFF`

For more information, see Operator Commands.

## Example for Taking a TCP Trace

The following steps illustrate how to take a TCP trace:

1. Turn on the TCP trace.

       F FUSION,TCPTRON

2. Perform the activity that you want to trace.
3. Turn off the TCP trace.

       F FUSION,TCPTROFF

## Locations for Trace Data

VTAM trace data is sent to DD statement VTAMTRAC defined in the Platform Server JCL. TCP trace data is sent to DD statement TCPTRAC defined in the Platform Server JCL.

For more information, see The Startup JCL.
