Example CTF Configuration Files

Example ctf.cfg file 1

This configuration file traces the COBOL programs' loads, entries, exits and cancels, and creates a text file:

mftrace.emitter.textfile#Format = $(TIME) $(THREAD) $(COMPONENT) $(EVENT) $(LEVEL) :$(DATA)
mftrace.level.mf.rts              = info
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgm           = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgmload       = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#syspgm        = true

Example ctf.cfg file 2

This configuration file traces the COBOL programs' loads, entries, exits and cancels, and creates a text file:

mftrace.dest                      = binfile
mftrace.emitter.binfile#location  = c:\logs
mftrace.level.mf.rts              = info
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgm           = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#pgmload       = true
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#syspgm        = true

where:

• c:\logs is the location where the trace files for the application is created.
• binfile indicates that a binary trace file is to be generated

Example configuration file for Assembler

This configuration file traces Assembler programs, and creates a text file:

#
#  Demo CTF config file for use with demo CTF programs.
#

mftrace.dest=textfile

mftrace.emitter.textfile#Format = $(TIME) $(THREAD) $(COMPONENT) $(EVENT) $(LEVEL) :$(DATA)
mftrace.emitter.es#level = 9999

# Where do you want the logs to go?
mftrace.emitter.textfile#location = c:\logs

# Maximum file size in "k" bytes
mftrace.emitter.textfile#MaxFilesize = 6000

# Maximum number of log files to keep.
mftrace.emitter.textfile#MaxGeneration = 4

• DELETE - trace all delete calls
• LINK - trace all link commands
• GETMAIN - trace all memory allocation commands
• FREEMAIN - trace all free memory commands

Example app.config file

(For .NET environment only.) This configuration file traces the COBOL programs' loads, entries, exits and cancels, and creates a text file:
