Collecting a Managed File Transfer for z/OS agent trace dynamically
Where it is not possible for you to stop an agent for a short period of time, we should collect Managed File Transfer for z/OS agent trace dynamically.
About this task
The way to collect the trace depends on whether the agent is being administered using Unix System Services (USS) or JCL.
If we are unsure which of the following options to use, contact the IBM Support representative and they will advise you on the best way to collect trace for the issue that we are seeing.
Procedure
If we are using:
- Unix System Services (USS), see Collecting an agent trace dynamically using USS.
- JCL, see Collecting an agent trace dynamically using JCL.
- Collecting an agent trace dynamically using USS
The fteSetAgentTraceLevel command allows trace to be collected from a running agent. This can be very useful if IBM Support need to see a trace from an agent that cannot be stopped.- Collecting an agent trace dynamically using JCL
We can use the BFGAGTC member within the data set containing the JCL, for the agent that needs to be traced, to collect trace from a running Managed File Transfer for z/OS agent This can be very useful if IBM Support need to see a trace from an agent that cannot be stopped.Parent topic: Tracing Managed File Transfer for z/OS agents
