Trace entries produced by CICS

Use the CICS-supplied transaction CETR to trace DBCTL activity. CETR traces DL/I requests until they leave DFHDBAT.

The following information gives examples of CICS® trace entries produced at the following points:

Connection to DBCTL
Disconnection from DBCTL
PSB schedule
PSB scheduling failure
CICS task issuing DL/I requests to be processed by DBCTL
Thread termination

For details of the general format of CICS trace entries, how to select trace options for component and task tracing, whether to use standard or special tracing, and how to start and stop tracing selectively, see Using CICS trace. For information about formatting and printing trace entries, including a sample job you can use to do this, see Sample monitoring data print program (DFH$MOLS).

In the example traces, numbers in the margin indicate things that might be useful to correlate CICS and DBCTL activity. These additional numbers are not part of the trace output. Also, some trace entries are omitted for brevity, as indicated by the following symbol:
