Space announcement This documentation space provides the same content as before, but the organization of the content has changed. The content is now organized based on logical branches instead of legacy book titles. We hope that the new structure will help you quickly find the content that you need.

Online Journal Facility

The Xchange online journal facility displays the satisfied date and time requests. When you request the online Xchange journal, date and time records are extracted from the journal data set, added to a temporary table, and displayed on your screen.

Important

  • If the referenced journal is open for the Xchange subsystem, records recently written by Xchange will not appear until Xchange checkpoints the journal file. For more information, see the JWTIM parameter in Task-3-2-2-Specify-Xchange-parameters.
  • IMS IOPCB information is included with CICS activity.

  1. To display the online journal, type the command TSO XGLOG in the TSO COMMAND field.
    The Online Log Facility screen is displayed, as shown in the following figure:

  2. Type the journal data set name and press Enter.
    The online log facility inquires whether or not you want to display CICS activity, as shown in the following figure.

  3. Enter Y to display CICS activity, or press any other key to display non-CICS activity.

The online journal will then be displayed, as shown in either Xchange Online Journal of Non-CICS Activity for non CICS activity or Xchange CICS Transaction Activity Log for CICS activity.

Fields on Xchange Online Journal of Non-CICS Activity

USERID

The ID of the user who made the request.

JOB

The MVS job for which the system date and time has been simulated.

STEPNAME

The name of a specific step within the job request.

PROCSTEP

The name of a procedure step within the job request.

PROGRAM

The name of the program as specified on the EXEC PGM= JCL statement.

YYYY/MM/DD

The simulated date in year, month, and day format.

HH:MM:SS

The simulated time in hour, minute, and second format.

OFFSET

The number of bytes, in hex, from the start of the PROGRAM name to the TIME services request. You can use the OFFSET figure with a link-edit map to locate the CSECT that begins immediately before the OFFSET. Subtract the address of the beginning of the CSECT from the OFFSET to determine the relative offset. The relative offset is the number of bytes, in hex, from the beginning of the CSECT to the time request.
