Destination block

 

DEST

Specifies where the trace output is to be recorded. More than one value can be specified, but do not use the same value twice.

The meaning of each value is as follows:

GTF

The z/OS Generalized Trace Facility (GTF). If used, the GTF must be started and accepting user (USR) records before the START TRACE command is issued.

RES

A wrap-around table residing in the ECSA, or a data space for CHINIT.

SMF

The System Management Facility (SMF). If used, the SMF must be functioning before the START TRACE command is issued. The SMF record numbers used by WebSphere MQ are 115 and 116.

SRV

A serviceability routine reserved for IBM use only; not for general use.

If your IBM support center need you to use this destination for your trace data they will supply you with module CSQWVSER. If you try to use destination SRV without CSQWVSER an error message is produced at the z/OS console when you issue the START TRACE command.

Allowed values, and the default value, depend on the type of trace started, as shown in the following table:

Destinations allowed for each trace type

Type	GTF	RES	SMF	SRV
GLOBAL	Allowed	Default	No	Allowed
STAT	No	No	Default	Allowed
ACCTG	Allowed	No	Default	Allowed
CHINIT	No	Default	No	Allowed
