You can set up an IPCS dialog to format applications trace data gathered by WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS®.
Once activated, the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS always writes trace data into memory buffers. The number and size of these buffers is controlled using WebSphere variables. You can get this trace data from a dump, which might be taken by the system or requested by the operator through DUMP or SLIP commands.
To view messages or application trace data from Component Trace, you must use the interactive problem control system (IPCS) to format the data. The source of the trace data can be a dump data set or a trace data set. When setting up IPCS, your installation might customize IPCS for its users.
IBM® recommends providing access to the IPCS dialog through the Profile Management Tool or the zpmt command. If your installation has not customized IPCS as recommended, you need to start the IPCS dialog. See z/OS MVS™ IPCS User's Guide, SA22-7596 to find out how to start the IPCS dialog.
Perform the following steps to use the IPCS dialog to format application trace data:
