Listing log records for an LUOW

To list the log records for an LUOW, use the LUOW luowid Log Records panel (where luowid is the LUOW ID that is assigned by Log Analyzer). This panel displays information about every log record that Log Analyzer has associated with an LUOW and provides access to other panels for working with these records.

  3. View summary information about the log records in the following fields.To toggle between views that display fields that are not visible in the current view, use the LEFT command (F10) and the RIGHT command (F11). To toggle between views that display more data in the Attributes field, enter the ALTVIEW command.

    Field

    Description

    Log Code

    Contains the two-character log record type code and (if applicable) the two-character log record subtype code that identify the type of the log record. For a list of log record type codes, see IMS-log-record-types.

    Type

    Contains the short name of the type of the log record. For a list of log record short names, see IMS-log-record-types.

    Attributes

    Contains relevant information that Log Analyzer snipped from within the log record. The information that is displayed in this field depends on the type of log record. For more information about variable data, see Variable-data-snipped-from-log-records.

    If this field contains the following string, no variable data was considered to be important to snip for this type of log record: (no formatted data)

    Sequence No.

    Contains the log sequence number (which is in hexadecimal format) that IMS assigned to the log record.

    Timestamp

    Contains the Julian date and the time when the log record was created.

    Time difference between records

    Contains the calculated time difference between the record’s timestamp and the previous record’s timestamp. To highlight time differences that exceed a specified value, enter the value in the Highlight time field.

    Time difference from benchmark

    Contains the calculated time difference between the record’s timestamp and a selected benchmark record’s timestamp. You can set or change the benchmark by entering K in the A (action) field of the record that you want to use as the benchmark. The new benchmark record is denoted by (benchmark) in this field. You can clear the contents of this field by entering the RESET command.

  4. To access other panels or work with log records, enter one of the following codes in the A (Action) field to the left of a log record:

    Code

    Result

    S

    View detailed information about the log record. The Log Record Detail panel is displayed. For more information, see Obtaining-log-record-details.

    T

    View a list of log records that came before and after the selected record within the sequence of log records that were selected. The Log Records - Time Sequence panel is displayed. For more information, see Listing-adjacent-log-records.

    K

    Mark the selected record as the benchmark time for delta time calculations. Log Analyzer calculates the delta time difference for a log record by subtracting the timestamp of the benchmark record from the timestamp of the log record. The difference is reported in the Time difference from benchmark field.

    D

    View a dump of the log record. The Log Record luowid panel is displayed. For more information, see Dumping-log-records.

    B

    View the contents of the log record in an ISPF Browse session. For more information, see Browsing-log-records.

    ?

    View general information about the log record type. This information is similar to the information in IMS-log-record-types.

    P

    View a parse of the log record. The Log Record luowid panel is displayed. For more information, see Parsing-log-records.

  5. (optional) If the Time difference between records field is displayed.  If you want to specify a threshold time value, use the Highlight time field.Enter a numeric value from .0001 through 3599. Times that equal or exceed this specified value are displayed in a contrasting color for greater visibility. To remove the highlighting, clear the value in this field.

  6. (optional) If the Attributes field is displayed, use the FIND command on the Command line if you want to search for a specified string.The string must contain one or more contiguous (nonblank) characters. The interface repositions the panel at the first record that contains the string. The interface displays other records that also contain the string in a contrasting color for greater visibility. To remove the highlighting, enter the RESET command.

    To reposition the panel to the next record that contains the string, use the RFND command (typically assigned to the F5 key).

  7. (optional) You can change the column on which the records are sorted and the order in which they are listed. For more information, see Sorting-listed-items.
  8. (optional) To prevent certain log record types from being listed, use the HIDE command.  To display log record types that are hidden, use the SHOW command.
