Consolidated Tracing Facility

Quote from Micro Focus representative at this years Micro Focus Developers Conference “This is one of the most important tools developed

by Micro Focus for production level application debugging”

Micro Focus found the need for an all purpose tracing and debugging tool with a consistent interface across all production platforms and environments to be configurable by the user




Why so important? Helps Micro Focus customers to better debug their

COBOL applications Helps Micro Focus support line to better isolate

problem issues Helps Micro Focus Development to produce better

products Can be easily extended and will drive future

development of Micro Focus debugging tools.




Very simple to use Simply setting an environment variable called

mftrace_config to point to a valid Consolidated Tracing Facility configuration file

What does CTF provide? Trace records that contain

Event ID’s Component names Time and Date stamps Thread ID’s

Event specific data and trace records are all under the user control!



Trace information

Each trace record is an event that occurs as the application is running

Trace files are generated on a per process basis

Multi threads within a single process go to the same trace output file

The Details

mftrace.dest = textfile,binfile,winevent mftrace.dest specifies the default output destination to be used when tracing

textfile, binfile, winevent are all Emitters

Browsing programs is a technique for navigating source code rapidly, and for understanding the code's structure and relationships. For example you can find out: Where a data item is defined, and which programs

modify it Which routines this program calls For object-oriented (OO) programs, the superclass

and subclass of this class.
