Setting up the interface

Use the following procedure to set up the interface to integrate MainView for DBCTL with Log Analyzer for IMS. During the set up, you are required to:

  • Create a customized version of REXX EXEC IOFLUISP in BBCLIB
  • Specify the required data sets for the Log Analyzer libraries
  • Define allocation parameters for extract and index data sets
  • Specify the installation libraries for the JCL generator

To set up the interface

  1. From the MainView for IMS library (BBSAMP), copy the Log Analyzer for IMS sample REXX EXEC IOFLUISP and save it to the BBCLIB library.

  2. In the copy of the REXX EXEC IOFLUISP, modify the following data set names to conform to the BMC Log Analyzer for IMS installation conventions:

    LUILLIB = "'BMCNODE.LOAD'"  
    USCLIB = "'BMCNODE.XXLINK'"
    LUIMLIB = "'BMCNODE.LUIMLIB'"
    LUIPLIB = "'BMCNODE.LUIPLIB'"
    LUISLIB = "'BMCNODE.LUISLIB'"
    LUITLIB = "'BMCNODE.LUITLIB'"

  3. From one of the following source views, select any SLDS or transaction to use for the set up 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).

    Warning

    Note

    You can select any SLDS or transaction for the purpose of setting up the defaults of the interface.

  4. From the Log Analyzer Interface view (IMVILUI), hyperlink on Link to BMC Log Analyzer for IMS.
    The interface dialog is displayed as shown in the following sample (which was accessed from IDBRSLDS):

  6. At BMC Log Analyzer for IMS REXX EXEC, enter REXX EXEC IOFLUISP.
    If you renamed the REXX EXEC IOFLUISP when you saved it in the BBCLIB library, use the name.

  7. Under JOBCARD, specify the job statement to use for executing the analysis job.

    Warning

    Note

    The job statement that you enter is included in the generated JCL exactly as you specify it. The job statement must conform to the job statement standards in your environment.

  8. At Required Datasets, enter the required Log Analyzer data sets for the STEPLIB.

    Warning

    Note

    Do not use quotes in the data sets names.

  9. At Allocation Parms for Extract and Index Datasets, specify data set names and parameters for use during analysis of LUOWs as follows:
    1. At INDEX DSN, enter the data set name of the index file to be allocated.
    2. At EXTRACT DSN, enter the data set name pf the extract file to be allocated.
    3. At SPACE UNITS, specify whether to allocate space in cylinders and tracks.
    4. At PRIMARY, specify the amount of primary space to use for the allocated data set.
    5. At * SECONDARY, specify the secondary space to use for the allocated data set.
    6. At VOLSER, enter the colume serial number to use for the ollcated data set.
    7. At STORCLAS, specify the the SMS storage class to use for the allocated data set.
    8. At MGMTCLAS, enter the SMS management class to use for the allocated data set.

Warning

Note

Do not change the data sets listed under INSTALLATION LIBRARIES FOR JCL GENERATOR as they are automatically specified by the JCL Generator. These libraries should be changed only if the JCL Generator experiences issues in discovering the JCL generator elements.
