Using the REPORTS Control Statement panel to build the REPORTS control statement


To build keywords and values on the REPORTS control statement, you use the REPORTS Control Statement panel.

The REPORTS control statement controls production of the batch reports that Log Analyzer writes to SYSOUT-type data sets. For more information, see Specifying-REPORTS-control-statements.

To access and work with the REPORTS Control Statement panel

  1. Access the JCL Menu panel. For instructions, see Using-the-JCL-menu-to-access-JCL-functions.
  2. Enter 1 next to the Build option.
    The Build JCL panel is displayed. 
  3. Enter S next to the ANALYZE field.
    The Build ANALYZE Step panel is displayed.
  4. In the Control Statements field to the left of the REPORTS label, enter S.
    The REPORTS Control Statement panel is displayed:

  5. In the Reports selection field to the left of each type of batch report that you want Log Analyzer to produce, enter a slash (/). Entering an S for options that have an asterisk (*) opens a separate dialog box for you to specify additional report options for the selected value. These fields are used to produce reports as explained below:

    • Analysis Summary - The Analysis Summary report summarizes information about quantities and types of log records that Log Analyzer handled during the analysis job, how Log Analyzer organized these records into LUOWs, and characteristics that are associated with the LUOWs.
    • LUOW Summary - The LUOW Summary report summarizes information about the LUOWs that Log Analyzer  created to organize input log records.
    • LUOW Detail - For additional field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-LUOW-Detail-Report-Options-panel.
    • LUOW Time Sequence - The LUOW Time Sequence report lists every log record that was selected for analysis in the order in which it was written to an IMS log.
    • Log Record Dump - For additional field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-Log-Record-Dump-Report-Options-panel.
    • Orphans - The Orphans report provides information about unresolved records for which Log Analyzer was unable to resolve associations and relate the record to an LUOW.
    • Audit - For additional field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-Audit-Report-Options-panel.
    • Application Checkpoint - For field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-Application-Checkpoint-Report-Options-panel.
    • Audit Detail - For additional field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-Audit-Detail-Report-Options-panel.
    • Log Record Parse - The Log Record Parse report displays detailed contents of log records that Log Analyzer associated with an LUOW.
    • IMS Statistics - For additional field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-IMS-Statistics-Report-Options-panel.
    • Abends - The Abends report provides information about transactions or programs that have terminated abnormally.
    • Transaction Instance - The Transaction Instance (TRANSIT) report provides information about individual instances of transactions. It is available if the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS product has written X'FA' records to the IMS log. For additional information and field details, see Using-the-Transaction-Instance-report.
    • Deadlock - The Deadlock report provides information about record lockout situations, also known as a deadly embrace between two or more transactions.
    • RBA Buffer Statistics - For additional field values that you need to specify, see Using-the-RBA-Buffer-Statistics-Report-Options-panel.
    • Message Queue - The Message Queue report provides information about the message length and the number of messages in the message queues. For more field values that you must specify, see Using the Message Queue Report Options panel.
    • Limit reports to certain log record codes - For details of the field values, see Using-the-REPORTS-Log-Record-Codes-panel.

    In the Limit SYSOUT to n lines field for many of the reports, you can also enter the maximum number of lines to write to the output data set for that report. If you omit this number, all lines that Log Analyzer produces for this report are written to the output data set.

    Important

    If you select the IMS Statistics report or the Application Checkpoint report, you cannot select the FILTER control statement on the Build JCL panel. The ISPF interface issues a warning message if the FILTER control statement is selected and you select one of these reports. To correct this condition, remove any slashes from the IMS Statistics field and Application Checkpoint field, or remove the slash from the FILTER control statement field.
