I feel that our system trace is a bit small, especially since we moved to z13. 
We currently have set them to 15M (per processor).
What do others use?

No-one interested in reading system trace? Or is this company secrect?

I'm surprised you got no reactions.

Perhaps if you say *where* do you set that limit per processor, this will stir 
IBM-MAIN into life?

I'm also curious *where* do you set it... even after I have RTFM and GYIF and 
STFI...


System trace size is set on the TRACE operator command (TRACE,ST,nnnK/nnnM/nG), along with master trace size, and some other options.

We offer some (admittedly very slim) guidance in z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids, in the Chapter on System Trace (Chapter 8).

After a short chat with someone who reads a lot of dumps, I find this is a more complicated question than it appears to be. Speaking only for myself, 15X the default size seems like more than enough.
