Working with reports in the ISPF interface


You can view information about LUOWs and their associated log records through the Log Analyzer ISPF interface.

This information is stored in an index file that a Log Analyzer analysis job produces if you specify the INDEXFILE control statement in the JCL for executing the job.

Note

If a Log Analyzer analysis job did not produce an index file, reports for that job are not available through the ISPF interface.

The analysis job requires you to provide an EXTRACT control statement if you provide an INDEXFILE control statement, but the extract file is not required for use of the ISPF interface. If this file is not available, interface actions that require access to the extract file (such as displaying a dump of a log record) are not available.

The following table lists major types of report information that is available in the ISPF interface.

Tip

Commands that enable easier navigation between records have been assigned to function keys for many of the panels in the Analyze portion of the ISPF interface. You might want to use the PFSHOW ON command to display these definitions until you become familiar with them.
