Notes:

 1  VSAM file sharing

This option is used to specify whether the Collector is to save the dependency and affinity data for all monitored CICS regions to a single set of VSAM files that you have shared between regions using either VSAM RLS or function shipping, or to multiple separate, region-specific, sets of files. Type Y or N. The default is N (No), data will be saved in separate sets of files.

To control the operation of multiple instances of the Collector, running on different regions, from a single CICS terminal, set this option to Y.

 2  High Level Trace

Start of changeThis option is used to specify whether the high-level trace is to be turned on for the Collector. Type 1, 2, or 3 to specify which level of trace points you want to collect, or type N to turn off this option. The default is N (No), trace is turned off. End of change

Start of changeThe CICS IA trace points are of the following types: End of change
Start of changeThe CICS TS trace points are of the following types: End of change

Start of change 3  Restore Trace flagsEnd of change

Start of changeThis option is used to specify whether to restore Trace flags values after a CICS IA stop. Type Y or N. The default is N (No), trace is turned off.End of change

 4  National Language Option
