Configuration File for CTF

You can configure the behavior of CTF using the CTF configuration file, whose location is set in the MFTRACE_CONFIG environment variable.

The CTF configuration file is processed during run-time system initialization and must be a text file. You specify the configuration information as name-value pair entries, with each entry on a separate line, and with lines beginning with ‘#’ treated as comments.

A sample CTF configuration file ctf.cfg is supplied in your COBOL development system examples directory.

You can use the following entries in the configuration file:

Entry	Description
mftrace.application	Restricts tracing to a specific application.
mftrace.comp.component-name#property	Sets a component's property.
mftrace.dest	Specifies the default output destinations.
mftrace.dest.component-name	Sets a component's output destinations.
mftrace.emitter.emitter-name#property	Sets an emitter property.
mftrace.level	Specifies the default tracing level.
mftrace.level.component-name	Specifies a component’s tracing level.
