Creating an auxiliary trace data set report

The report utility prints a report from auxiliary data sets produced by C\Prof, the CICS auxiliary trace utility, or the GTF trace. The report utility produces similar output to the CICS trace utility print program.

To use the report utility, create and run a new collector job specifying the REPORT control statement. The format of the report is specified using the FORMAT=value parameter. The value parameter can be substituted with one of the following values:

C\Prof REPORT FORMAT values

Value Description
ABBREV Produces an abbreviated, one-line-per-entry trace print.
SHORT Produces a short, formatted print of the data in each entry.

The report includes the information from the abbreviated report, with the addition of interpreted parameter lists, return addresses, times, and intervals.
FULL Produces a report complete with all available data. This is the default.

The following JCL demonstrates report generation using the abbreviated format:

//CPROFCOL JOB ,
/*JOBPARM SYSAFF=SYS1
//*
//S1     EXEC PGM=TXCMAIN
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TXC.V1R2M0.STXCAUTH
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DFHAUXT  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USR.SNAPSHOT.TXCAUXT
//DFHAXPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
REPORT FORMAT=ABBREV

    The name of the input auxiliary trace data set.

  • DFHAXPRT

    The output file for the report.

  • SYSIN
