    This is something we would like to address, but not in the way described, ie enhancements to CEMT.  Aoutomation could be achieved via systems events driving an event adapter which could use the SPI to manipulate the trace settings and trace component settings. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status.  Please note:

    The CICS SPI has the ability to manipulate trace activation and trace flag settings. These could be coded in a CICS event adapter, if a system event could be generated at the right time. We've had other requirements asking for example for event enablement of CICS messages. Would such a solution be appropriate here ?
