Configuration File

The MFAXML configuration file can be edited to enable tracing on the main MFA Server Started Task or any of the other Application Servers that may be configured.

See Configuration parameters - quick reference for more information on where the TRACING parameter can be used.

For example, to enable tracing for the main MFA Started Task :

<Configuration
                     TCP_PORT="2020"
                     LU62_APPLID="MFM62ACB"
                     APPLID_PASSWORD="MFM62PSW"
                     TRACING="1"
>

……

</Configuration>

For example, to enable tracing for the main MFA TSO Application Server:

<Configuration
                     TCP_PORT="2020"
                     LU62_APPLID="MFM62ACB"
                     APPLID_PASSWORD="MFM62PSW"
                     TRACING="0"
>
……
    <!-- Application Server address space definitions  -->
    <ApplicationServers>
        <!-- Mainframe Access Application Server(s) for TSO Command -->
        <TSO         PROCEDURE="MFAAS" MAXIMUM="1" JOBNAME="MFAT"
                          TSO_PROCEDURE="MFATSO" TRACING=”1”
        />
    </ApplicationServers>
……

</Configuration>

Note: XML has been truncated for illustrative purposes.

Tracing can be enabled for multiple targets at once.

Once enabled tracing behaves the same way as for Dynamic Tracing detailed earlier. To disable tracing edit the MFAXML configuration file again and set TRACING to 0 and then restart the MFA server for it to take effect.

Note: Any modifications made to the MFAXML configuration file will require a restart before the modifications take effect.
