Enabling CTF to Trace RM/COBOL Data Files

Enable the Micro Focus Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF) to trace activity with your RM/COBOL data files.

To enable CTF:

Set the following environment variables:

set MFTRACE_CONFIG=ctf.cfg
set MFTRACE_LOGS=pathname   *> if not set, logs are stored in the current folder.

In ctf.cfg, set the following:

mftrace.dest                = textfile
mftrace.level.mf.rts        = info
mftrace.comp.mf.rts#eprintf = true

Set the following environment variable:

set A_CONFIG=rmfm.cfg    *> rmfm is your RMFM configuration file

In rmfm.cfg, set the following:

DEFAULT_FILESYSTEM RMFM
FILE_TRACE 3   *> values 0-9 set amount of activity traced.

When you run your program, a log-file is produced that includes the activity with the RM/COBOL data files.
