Overview of batch reports


Log Analyzer produces batch reports that you can use to verify the success of the analysis job and to examine LUOWs manually.

The following reports are available:

  • The Analysis Summary report summarizes information about the log records that Log Analyzer has handled during the analysis job and about how Log Analyzer has organized these records into LUOWs.
  • The Audit report provides information that is relevant to an audit of events which have occurred in the IMS environment.
  • The LUOW Summary report summarizes information about the LUOWs that Log Analyzer has created during the analysis job.
  • The LUOW Detail report lists key information about the individual log records that Log Analyzer has associated with an LUOW.
  • The Record Dumps report displays the contents of log records in a standard format or a vertical format.
  • The Record Parse report displays the contents of log records in a readable format. 
  • The Time Sequence report lists every log record that was selected for analysis in the order in which it was written to an IMS log.
  • The Unresolved Orphans report provides information about records for which Log Analyzer was unable to resolve LUOW associations.

Batch reports can be helpful for several purposes:

  • During initial analysis of a set of logs for problem determination, batch reports can help you assess the overall contents of the logs and whether the logs contain the necessary records for a specific origin, destination, user ID, or other element of interest.
  • Batch reports are a convenient method for providing information to be analyzed by other personnel (such as an auditor, an application developer, a DBA).
  • A single analysis job might not produce all of the information that is required for problem determination or to meet the needs of other personnel. You can run multiple analysis jobs with different criteria and find the answer in the combination of batch reports from all of the jobs.
