IPRPREFIX keyword for the ANALYZE control statement


You can use the IPRPREFIX keyword (or the IPRP abbreviation) on the ANALYZE control statement to automatically include appropriate journal files that the BMC Energizer for IMS Connect product created.

The journal files contain information about IMS Connect events such as Read Socket, Send to IMS, Send to Client, and IMS Send to IMS Connect.

The data set name of an Energizer journal begins with a site-specified prefix and contains a timestamp, which indicates the Universal Time Code (UTC) creation time. If you use the IPRPREFIX keyword to provide the journal prefix, Log Analyzer can search the system catalog for all data sets that match the journal prefix and that have timestamps within the analysis time range. Log Analyzer determines the time range automatically from the IMS records that are included in the analysis.

For the value of the IPRPREFIX keyword, specify the Energizer journal prefix that matches the data set name prefix that was specified in the Energizer options. If you want Log Analyzer to read journals from multiple IMS Connect systems, specify multiple instances of the IPRPREFIX keyword. (To avoid unpredictable results, specify a unique prefix for each of these systems.) If you specify the IPRPREFIX keyword, do not specify the IPRJRNL keyword.

No default value is provided. If you omit the IPRPREFIX and IPRJRNL keywords, Log Analyzer does not read any Energizer for IMS Connect journal files.

Information
Example

You want to include all relevant Energizer journals from two IMS Connect systems in the Log Analyzer analysis job. Specify the following keywords on the ANALYZE control statement:

IPRPREFIX=(IMS1.IPRJRNL1)

IPRPREFIX=(IMS2.IPRJRNL2)
