CICS trace considerations

When Fault Analyzer gathers the trace entries for the abending task, a storage area is used to copy the trace entries into. The size of this storage area, and hence the number of trace entries copied, is determined as follows:

• For CICS® TS 5.1 and above, the CICS® system initialization parameter, TRTRANSZ is used.
• For earlier CICS® releases, minimum of 64K is used, unless the CICS® system initialization parameter, TRTRANSZ, specifies a value higher than 64K, in which case that value is used, up to a maximum of 256K.
