Working with BMC AMI Log Analyzer for IMS jobs

To analyze log records automatically and create LUOWs (if applicable), you must execute an analysis batch job. You control the execution of the analysis job by using standard JCL and by using control statements that are specific to Log Analyzer.

Control statements specify:

  • Sources of log records to read
  • Log records to select for analysis
  • Reports and files to produce
  • Options to use during processing

You can prepare the JCL manually (as explained in this section), or you can use the Log Analyzer ISPF interface to build the JCL automatically from information that you specify on a series of panels (as explained in Building-BMC-AMI-Log-Analyzer-JCL-by-using-the-ISPF-interface).

Following is a summary of the tasks you perform to work with a Log Analyzer job manually:

  1. Specify required JOB, EXEC, and DD statements for the job.

    For more information, see Specifying-JOB-EXEC-and-DD-statements.

  2. Specify control statements in the SYSIN data set.

    For general information about Log Analyzer control statements, see Specifying-control-statements.

    For detailed information about commands and keywords that you can specify on control statements, see the following sections:

    Log Analyzer provides control statement samples that you can copy and modify for your own purposes. For an annotated index of samples, see Samples.

  3. Submit the prepared job for execution.

  4. Check the results of the job.
