The Consolidated Tracing Facility

The Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF) is a tracing infrastructure that enables you to produce diagnostic information of Micro Focus software components and your own programs.

The trace information is displayed dynamically in a console, as soon as it occurs. There is one console for each process ID being debugged.
