We're having trouble getting a trace file on z/os.
Our config file has
ARS_TRACE_SETTINGS=/etc/ars/trace.settings
ARSSOCK=/var/arspvb/tmp/server.trace
(The arssock line was new and did not seem to have any effect)
Our /etc/ars/trace.settings has:
[TRACE]
TRACE_FILE=/var/arspvb/tmp/server.trace
TRACE_LEVELS=ALL=15
APPEND=0
TRACE_FORMAT=TEXT
COMPONENT_LEVEL=777777777777777777777777
We Activated the system trace in the Administrator Client with parameters ALL=3
yet we still never seem to get a server.trace file. We do have a basic arssock.err.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Perms on the directory being written to? I've ran into that a few times using trace on 8.5

The only differences we have on our z/OS system is we have ÝTRACE¨ instead of [TRACE]. I know that was required versions ago, not sure if it's still relevant. We also don't have the TRACE_LEVELS= set in trace.settings.

A colleague had this write up which I think is still accurate:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/e8206aad-10e2-4c49-b00c-fee572815374/entry/cmod_trace?lang=en (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/e8206aad-10e2-4c49-b00c-fee572815374/entry/cmod_trace?lang=en)
There's also the -1 and -2 trace parms - am curious as to why you're not using those?
