Use these controls to gather information that can be used
by IBM® service.
- ras_minorcode_action= value
- Determines the default behavior for gathering documentation about
system exception minor codes.
- CEEDUMP
- Captures callback and offsets.
Tip: It takes time
for the system to take CEEDUMPs and this may cause transaction timeouts.
For instance, if the WebSphere® variable transaction_defaultTimeout
is set to 30 seconds, your application transaction may time out because
processing a CEEDUMP can take longer than 30 seconds. To prevent this
from happening, either:
- Increase the transaction timeout value, or
- Code ras_minorcode_action=NODIAGNOSTICDATA and make sure the
ras_trace_minorCodeTraceBacks variable is not specified.
- TRACEBACK
- Captures Language Environment® and z/OS® UNIX traceback data.
- SVCDUMP
- Captures an MVS™ dump (but will not produce a dump in the
client).
- NODIAGNOSTICDATA
- Specifies that no diagnostic data will be collected, even if CEEDUMP,
TRACEBACK, or SVCDUMP processing occurs because of another WebSphere variable setting. For example,
if you code both of the following variables, traceback processing
occurs but none of the traceback data is collected: ras_minorcode_action=NODIAGNOSTICDATA
and ras_trace_minorCodeTraceBacks=ALL
Default: NODIAGNOSTICDATA
Example: ras_minorcode_action=SVCDUMP
- ras_trace_minorCodeTraceBacks= value
- Enables traceback of system exception minor codes. Values are:
ALL|all
Enables traceback for all system exception minor codes.Enables traceback of system exception minor codes. Values are:
- minor_code Enables traceback for a specific minor code.
Example: Type
1234
for minor code
C9C21234
- (null value) The default. This setting will not cause
gathering of a traceback.
Default: (null value)
Example: ras_trace_minorCodeTraceBacks=all
