Consolidated Tracing Facility

The following changes have been made to the Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF):

CTF for JVM COBOL applications

CTF tracing is now supported in JVM COBOL applications.

New emitters

A new emitter, JAVALOGGER, is available for JVM COBOL web applications. This emitter passes details to the Java logging API that is available through your web server. Use this emitter if you are unable to configure the TEXTFILE or BINFILE emitters due to web server permission restrictions.

New properties and variables for existing emitters

The following support has been added to existing emitters.

The following property has been added to the BINFILE emitter:

Property Description
RunUnitID Controls whether the RunUnit information is included in the trace.

Four new pseudo-variables for the FILE property have been added to the BINFILE and TEXTFILE emitters:

pseudo-variable Description
$(PLATFORM) A platform specific constant, useful when two run-time systems are in the same process, and you require separate trace files
$(RUNUNIT) A unique number that represents the managed RunUnit ID
$(RUNUNIT_SESSIONNAME) The session name passed to the managed RunUnit
$(RUNUNIT_GUID) The globally unique identifier associated with the managed RunUnit
