I think you have to start the GSKSRVR first before starting the GSK writer. We
had to do an SSL trace per IBM's request and the following was the process they
gave to us. Note, this was for a CICS trace so your reply may be different.
1) Start the GSKSRVR started task:
S GSKSRVR
2) Start the trace writer proc with the console command:
TRACE CT,WTRSTART=GSKWTR
3) Start SSL CTRACE with the console command:
TRACE CT,ON,COMP=GSKSRVR
4) Reply to the outstanding reply: (yourjob is the name of the CICS
region to be traced)
R xx,JOBNAME=(yourjob),OPTIONS=(LEVEL=255),WTR=GSKWTR,END
4a) D TRACE,COMP=GSKSRVR,SUB=(jobname) to verify trace is active
4b) Refresh the SSL environment using CEMT PERFORM SSL REBUILD
5) Establish a connection to CICS
6) Stop SSL CTRACE with the console command:
TRACE CT,OFF,COMP=GSKSRVR
7) Stop the trace writer proc with the console command:
TRACE CT,WTRSTOP=GSKWTR,FLUSH
8) Stop the GSKSRVR started task:
P GSKSRVR

Subject: GSKSRVR trace
Ok, I'm hopelessly ignorant about z/OS tracing, so please don't laugh (too
hard).
I'm trying to follow the instructions on
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.gska100/sssl2dia1023728.htm
to learn about SSL tracing. Yes, this is a test system.
I copied the GSK.SGSKSAMP(GSKWTR) member to the PROCLIB and customized it:
//GSKWTR PROC
//IEFPROC EXEC PGM=ITTTRCWR,REGION=32M
//TRCOUT01 DD DSN=PHS.GSK.TRACE1,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// SPACE=(CYL,(10)),UNIT=SYSDA
Then I issued:
TRACE CT,WTRSTART=GSKWTR
which got:
ITT038I ALL OF THE TRANSACTIONS REQUESTED VIA THE TRACE CT COMMAND WERE
SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED.
IEE839I ST=(ON,0001M,00004M) AS=ON BR=OFF EX=ON MO=OFF MT=(ON,064K)

So far so good. Then I issue:

and I get:

OK, I'm missing something basic (and probably obvious). Any idea what?
