(ZOS) Sample JCL to display WebSphere for z/OS trace data

Use this sample JCL to display trace data for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS .

The following sample shows JCL that displays WebSphere for z/OS trace data.

The JCL uses an IPCS dump directory (in VSAM data set userid.DUMP.DIR) that must be allocated before running the JCL. See z/OS VS™ IPCS Commands, SA22-7594 , for information about initializing a dump directory.

//SHOWTRC  JOB <job card info>

//       DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MIGLIB
//PRINTIT EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=OM

The following example shows JCL that displays WebSphere for z/OS trace data for multiple address spaces.

//SHOWTRC2 JOB <job card info>

We need to copy the files from WAS_HOME/lib/ipcs/ into BBO.MIGLIB.
