(ZOS) CTRACE to collect trace data for Java server applications

Applications that run in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS can use JRas to provide tracing support that is consistent with WebSphere tracing.

Instrumented applications use the JRas interfaces and classes for logging and tracing; trace data is written to the same component trace data set as the internal traces issued by the WAS for z/OS runtime. So we can gather application trace data in the same locations, and use the same commands to start and stop CTRACE for these JRas applications as we do for WAS for z/OS server in which the applications are running.
