    • BMC recommends a value 100 for the Number of buffers field. 
    • Use the Log code field if the Defender for IMS needs to log information to the IMS Log. The default value is F8.
    • Optionally, to have the WTO trace active for the IMS control region, select the Enable WTO Trace field. This causes a few additional messages to be written to the IMS control region joblog during startup and termination, but it does not affect the operation of the Defender for IMS.
