Listing adjacent log records

You can use this panel for the following purposes:

• View a log record in context with other log records, which might be associated with the same or a different LUOW.
• Identify other LUOWs that were active while a LUOW of interest was active so that you can better understand how the LUOWs might have influenced each other.
• Determine whether an unrelated event (that was not associated with a particular LUOW of interest) has occurred before, during, or after the LUOW was active or has not occurred at all.

To access and work with the Log Records - Time Sequence panel

1. Access the LUOW luowid Log Records panel.For instructions, see Listing-log-records-for-an-LUOW.

2. In the A (Action) field to the left of a log record, enter T.The Log Records - Time Sequence panel is displayed:

   The selected record is at the center of the panel, with the adjacent records before and after it. You can scroll up and down to see more adjacent 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	The Log Code field contains the two-character log record 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	The Type field contains the short name of the type of the log record. For a list of log record short names, see IMS-log-record-types.
   Sequence No.	The Sequence No. field contains the log sequence number (which is in hexadecimal format) that IMS assigned to the log record.
   Attributes	The Attributes field 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)
   LUOW ID	The LUOW ID field contains the LUOW number that Log Analyzer assigned arbitrarily during the analysis job. For more information, see Creating-LUOWs.
   <	The < field contains a symbol ( < ) to indicate the record that you selected to display the Log Record - Time Sequence panel. This record is also highlighted.
   Timestamp	The Timestamp field contains the Julian date and the time when the log record was created.
   Time difference between records	The Time difference between records field contains the calculated time difference between the record’s timestamp and the previous record’s timestamp. To highlight differences that exceed a specified value, enter the value in the Highlight time field.
   Time difference from benchmark	The Time difference from benchmark field contains the calculated time difference between the record’s timestamp and a selected benchmark record’s timestamp. The default benchmark is the record that you selected with the T action code on the LUOW luowid Log Records panel. You can 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 to 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.
   L	View the LUOW that is associated with this log record. The LUOW List panel is displayed. For more information, see Listing-LUOWs.
   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 logrecnum 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.

5. (optional) If the Time difference between records field is displayed, use the Highlight time field if you want to specify a threshold time value.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).
