Help for Component Filter Add, Delete, Update

This help page explains how to work with the component filters. The component filters currently set for this stack are IP address/mask, IP ports, job names, and address space ID. When the component trace status is active, all component trace filters currently set are collected and displayed. When component trace status is in delay mode, all global variables for component trace filters which are set for a future delay start are retrieved and displayed. When the component trace status is inactive, you can add, delete, and update the component filters. For more information on trace options, refer to the z/OS Comm Server IP: Diagnosis.
