IBM® Connect:Direct® automatically collects statistical data and stores it in a data set. ARS can access this statistical data and produce the following reports for a selected time period:

  • IBM Connect:Direct Activity Report lists activity by Process step
  • IBM Connect:Direct Summary Report summarizes all activity

    IBM Connect:Direct Exception Report lists all Process steps that are not successful

    IBM Connect:Direct Security Violations Report lists security violations by signon security failures, Process security failures, and data set access security failures

    IBM Connect:Direct Function Reports provides the activity reports for the following types of Process steps:

    • Non-Partitioned Data Set (PDS) COPY
    • PDS COPY
    • RUN JOB
    • RUN TASK
    • Submit Within a Process

Following are two methods to request ARS reports:

  • By using the sample JCL member that is provided with ARS.
