Tracing IMS Service Execution

You can trace IMS service execution using the Micro Focus Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF).

The process of enabling tracing is a combination of setting the appropriate service intreface properties and enabling the CTF. Deployment and client generation are not affected.

Two properties determine the level of trace information. They are:

• Generate trace - Trace IMS service interface runtime information.
• Enable system trace - Trace the service interface operation names.

You can enable either one or both of these properties depending on the type of trace information you want.

Before enabling the CTF, configure it by setting the MFTRACE_CONFIG environment variable to point to the ctf.cfg configuration file.

The following is an example of the contents of a typical ctf.cfg file:

mftrace.emitter.es#level             = 99999
mftrace.application                  = cassi
mftrace.dest                         = textfile
mftrace.emitter.textfile#Location    = c:\ctf
mftrace.level                        = debug
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#api              = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#container        = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#external         = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#fsys             = false
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#jsem             = false
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#memory           = false
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#mfentmap         = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#mfpm             = false
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgm              = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgmload          = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgmsearch        = false
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#syspgm           = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#signal           = true
