IMS log record types

Log Analyzer supports all types of log records that conform to IMS log record conventions.

Log Analyzer has mapped most IMS and BMC log records. A mapped record has a recognized log record code. Log Analyzer assigns a type and description that identify the record in batch reports and on interface panels. If Log Analyzer has not mapped a type of log record, the string unmapd is displayed as the short name of the record.

The following table lists the types of IMS log records that Log Analyzer has mapped, the type of LUOW to which the record is associated, and (for nontransaction types of LUOWs) the label that Log Analyzer uses for the type of LUOW in reports.

Important

Information about log record types is as current as possible, as of the time that this section was prepared for publication. Log record types and layouts can be changed at any time at the discretion of the owner of the log record.

Information about log records that Log Analyzer has mapped is also available in the Log Analyzer ISPF interface. To access this information, enter the LC global command from any panel or select Log code help from the Help action bar choice.
