IMS components formatting panels

The IMS components Common Queue Server (CQS), Database Recovery Facility (DBRC), IMS Connect, Open Database Manager (ODBM), Operations Manager (OM), Repository Server (REPO), Resource Manager (RM), and Structured Call Interface (SCI), run under the Base Primitive Environment (BPE) system services, rather than the IMS system services. These components use the BPE formatter, and their format options are selected separately from the IMS Dump Formatter.

BPE direct external trace lets any component that is running under the BPE system services write ad hoc data of variable length directly to the BPE data set. To use BPE direct external trace, you must enable it when you create the trace table definition. See Setting up IMS for diagnostics in IMS Version 15.2 System Definition.

To access the BPE External Trace Formatting panels:

Procedure

  1. Select Other IMS components formatting from the IMS Dump Formatting Primary menu panel, type 6 and press Enter.
    The IMS Components panel appears.
  2. Select the component that you are formatting or select B for the BPE formatting panel, and press Enter.
  3. Type 4 to access the BPE external trace formatting panel, and press Enter.
    The BPE External Trace Formatting panel opens. From this panel, you can select the specific component formatting to be done (for example, BPE or CQS). Dump initialization for these components is done through the BPE status and initialization panel under option 0 after step 2.
