Log Analyzer calculates the elapsed time for an LUOW by subtracting the timestamp of the first record that is included in the LUOW from the timestamp of the last record that is included in the LUOW. Log Analyzer can report the calculated elapsed time on the Analysis Summary report and on the LUOW Summary report. You can use elapsed time as a filter on FILTER SELECT statements.

Error
Warning

For Log Analyzer to report valid values for calculated elapsed times, all log records that are included in the analysis must have been produced on systems that are using the same sysplex timer. If the systems are using different sysplex timers, specify ELAPSEDTIME=NO to prevent Log Analyzer from reporting misleading values.

You can specify one of the following values:

  • YES

    Report elapsed time values.

  • NO

    Do not report elapsed time values. Specify this value if log records have been produced on systems that are not using the same sysplex timer.

The default is ELAPSEDTIME=YES.

Information
Example

You know that your analysis job includes logs from systems which use different sysplex timers. To prevent Log Analyzer from reporting elapsed time values, specify the following keyword on the ANALYZE control statement:

ELAPSEDTIME=NO
