Running Platform Server Internal Traces

The Platform Server can trace either VTAM or TCP communications.

You can use the following operator commands to activate the respective traces:

  • VTAM trace: F FUSION,TRON
  • TCP trace: F FUSION,TCPTRON

You can use the following operator commands to turned off the respective traces:

  • VTAM trace: F FUSION,TROFF
  • TCP trace: F FUSION, TCPTROFF

For more information, see "Operator Commands" in TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation Guide.

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.
