This appendix is an example of how a diagnostic trace can help you see what is happening to a transaction.
In this example, a test IMS Connect (started task IPRITOC), and an Energizer eLink address space (started task IPRLINK) were started. You could use this trace to verify that a new client or customer user message exit is functioning properly. Most commands can be performed by using the BMC AMI Command Center or the MVS Operator commands.
You can use the diagnostic trace with a production IMS Connect just as easily, but the input and output messages may not be contiguous as shown in this example. All trace records contain the SVT address in the first word. All records for a transaction will have the same SVT address.
