ICPS CTRACE command
The CTRACE command specifies the cell from which trace data will be gathered.
Read Formatting CTRACE data with an IPCS dialog for
information on when to use the CTRACE command with an IPCS dialog.
The CTRACE command uses the following syntax:
CTRACE COMP (CELL_SHORT_NAME)
where CELL_SHORT_NAME is the value
specified through the Profile Management Tool or the zpmt command
to identify the location of server configuration files. The name must
be 8 or fewer characters and all uppercase. You can also use the IPCS CTRACE command to merge multiple trace entities together such as multiple WebSphere Application Server for z/OS address space traces, OMVS, and TCPIP. For example code, see Sample JCL to display WebSphere for z/OS trace data.
