Multiple generic traces

You can use generic job traces to enhance the results of the trace.

The generic job trace allows you to trace jobs in several different ways. You can designate specific criteria to get precise results from the trace. The generic job trace allows you to:

Start an unlimited number of job traces. This allows you to trace more than one job at a time. This capability has additional considerations if you are using the TRCTYPE prompt for tracing additional components. See Trace type information is cumulative for more information.
Start more than one trace session that has the generic job specification.

These examples show several different ways to specify a generic job name for your trace. These are all valid formats. Note that in all cases, the job number is *ALL:

Generic job name, full user name: STRTRC SSNID(TEST) JOB((*ALL/USER/JOB*))
Full job name, generic user name: STRTRC SSNID(TEST) JOB((*ALL/USER*/JOB))
Full job name, full user name: STRTRC SSNID(TEST) JOB((*ALL/USER/JOB))
Generic job name, generic user name: STRTRC SSNID(TEST) JOB((*ALL/USER*/JOB*))
