Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
Syntax:
trace=trace-setting
Parameters:
-
trace-setting
- One of:
- 0
- Disables MFCC tracing
- any non-zero value
- Enables MFCC tracing during MFCS startup
Comments:
MFCC tracing is off by default but can be enabled in the configuration file. By default, this is mf-client.dat, located in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\bin , but you can create your own configuration file of any name or location and identify it using the MFC_CONFIG environment variable.
MFCS uses MFCC during startup to verify that its control channel is working. If MFCC tracing is enabled in the configuration file, you can set this option to "0" to disable MFCC tracing in MFCS. Alternatively, you can set it to a non-zero value to enable MFCC tracing during MFCS startup, to diagnose a failure there.
