Hi Joyce,
You should have a look at ADSM V3 Trace Facility Guide
If you look in the clients schedule log you will get some useful info on whether
the
client is spending most of its time in the network  "Data transfer time:"
compared to
the  "Elapsed processing time:"
If the data transfer time is a high percentage of the elapsed time you need to
be looking at the network
If not then you need to find out what is happening on the clients
If you just want basic tracing on the client
You need to add 3 lines to the dsm.opt file eg.
TRACEMAX           10000
TRACEFILE           TRACE.OUT
TRACEFLAGS      PERFORM

Tracemax limits the trace output file to 10mb.
Tracefile is the output file for the trace
Perform is a trace option which will split where the client is spending its time


The trace file will be placed in the current directory unless you specify a
different path in the form TRACEFILE   /u/user/trace.out
Hope this helps
John
