Purpose
The ENABLE TRACK command is used to request the collection and disposition of internal diagnostic information. The DISABLE TRACK command may be used to reverse its effect. The DISPLAY TRACK command may be used to obtain the current settings.
This command is intended for use in consultation with Teradata customer support personnel: internal knowledge of TDP is required for proper use, although improper use has no untoward impact.
Syntax
- NORECORD
- Indicates that the track information not be recorded externally. For MVS, this is the Generalized Trace Facility (GTF).
- RECORD
- Indicates that the track information be presented to the operating system recording facility. For MVS, this is the Generalized Trace Facility (GTF).
- CURRENT
- Indicates that the current settings of either the default or results of the previous ENABLE TRACK are to be used. These settings may then be modified by the NORECORD, RECORD, INCLUDE, and EXCLUDE operands.
- INCLUDE
- Identifies one or more components to be tracked. 'ALL' includes all components.
- EXCLUDE
- Identifies one or more components not be tracked. 'ALL' excludes all components.
Usage Notes
While the RECORD operand will pass information to GTF, the information will not be retained unless GTF has been manually started and accepting user records from this TDP's jobname.
If XNES is INCLUDEd, if the TDP CONFIG NP TU command specifies NORECORD, Using- Sequence# track entries are also inhibited.
If either NSPCI or SS is INCLUDEd, RECORD is always in effect for those components.
Example: ENABLE TRACK
ENABLE TRACK RECORD INCLUDE SYNC
