Creating an index file for use with Log Analyzer for IMS

You can use the interface dialog to generate JCL that produces an index file for use with the Log Analyzer for IMS product.

Warning

Before you begin, you must set up the interface by:

  • Creating a customized REXX EXEC for use with the Log Analyzer for IMS libraries
  • Defining default allocation parameters
  • Specifying data set names for use with Log Analyzer for IMS and the JCL Generator

For more information, see Setting-up-the-interface.


  1. Use one of the following source views to identify the SLDS or transaction you want to examine and then hyperlink to the Log Analyzer Interface view (IMVILUI) as shown in the following table:

    To examine

    Use the following view

    System log data sets

    Query RECON SLDS view (IDBRSLDS)

    You can hyperlink from any data set name to access the Log Analyzer Interface view (IMVILUI).

    Transaction abends

    Transactions by abend, real time view (ITRABEND)

    For any abend, you can hyperlink from the Sys Code or User Code field to access the Log Analyzer Interface view (IMVILUI).

    Transactions identified from a summary trace

    Trace Summary view (ITASUM)

    For any transaction, hyperlink from the LUI JCL field to access the Log Analyzer Interface view (IMVILUI).


  2. From IMVILUI, hyperlink on Link to BMC Log Analyzer for IMS.
    The interface dialog is displayed as shown in the following sample:
