7.3.44 TRACE_FILE_CNT parameter (defines the number of files to which traces are to be output)

Syntax

#-adsh_conf TRACE_FILE_CNT number-of-files

Description

This parameter defines the number of files to which traces are to be output.

Operands

number-of-files ~<unsigned integer>((1 to 64))<<4>>

Specifies the number of files to which traces are to be output. The normal specification value is 4.

Notes

• If this parameter is defined in both the system environment file and the job environment file, the definition in the job environment file takes effect. If the value of the TRACE_DIR parameter and the value specified in the system environment file are the same, specifying a different value in this parameter will result in an error (even when the system environment file's default value is assumed).

Supplementary information

• If multiple users output trace logs to the same file, the largest TRACE_FILE_CNT parameter value specified by any of the users takes effect.

  If the TRACE_FILE_CNT parameter value is changed in the environment file, the new value is compared with the existing value for the number of trace files and whichever is larger is used.

  To reduce the number of trace files, you must delete all files from the trace folder (make sure that no job is outputting traces to the trace files when you delete files from the trace folder).

  We recommend that all users who output traces to the same file use the same parameter values.
