On the IBM i LPAR, use the EVTRACING command to start and stop debug tracing without restarting a job. Use this tracing facility at the direction of Precisely Support.
The trace output will be written to the EVIEW/EVTRACE output queue.
Issuing the CALL EVIEW/EVTRACING command with no parameters displays the current trace level for each job.
The syntax is:
CALL EVIEW/EVTRACING [PARM('jobname' '[x]tracelevel')]where:
|
Examples:
To turn on the tracing for Journal Monitoring call:
CALL EVIEW/EVTRACING PARM('EVJRNPROC' '7')
To turn the trace back off, once it is no longer needed, call:
CALL EVIEW/EVTRACING PARM('EVJRNPROC' '0')
These values can also be set before the EVSBS subsystem starts by editing the appropriate “_TRACE” parameter value in the EVIEW/EVPARMS parameter file.
Trace files can grow very quickly, so it is recommended to activate the tracing only for limited periods of time. After it has been offloaded, use this command to clear the trace file(s) from the output queue:
CLROUTQ EVIEW/EVTRACE.
