CTF Trace

This is the primary logging mechanism for the COBOL system. It logs what happens in most user programs and what is happening within the internal CAS processes themselves. For example, JCL and the compiler/ debugger.

It records activity over a timeline period, and is enabled via a separate configuration file. CTF tracing can be restricted to specific components or modules, and certain elements within these components. The level of detail included in the trace can be configured for each component if required.
