Abstract

An approach to selectively recording trace data. The approach sifts through process control and state data to store data that is most relevant to aiding debugging while reducing the overall amount of data that is stored in a trace data set by a trace facility. The approach may involve initiating a trace operation for the software component and, for each resource of the software component, determining whether the resource is currently in use. For those resources in use, the current state of the resource is compared with the previous state of the resource. If the current state has changed, the current state is written to the trace data set. If the resource is not in use, or the current state has not changed, no entry is made to the trace data set. The approach may also analyze users to determine which resources the users are holding and/or waiting for.
