IMS Monitor reports for MSC

The IMS Monitor Report Print program includes three reports that highlight message events caused by Multiple Systems Coupling.

• MSC Traffic report

  This report shows the enqueue and dequeue counts of messages that use the various link paths for the monitor interval.

• MSC Summary report

  This report shows summaries of:

  • The traffic queues for each input transaction name
  • The traffic queues for each destination name
  • The traffic queues for each link number
  • The traffic queues for each destination system
• MSC Queuing Summary report

  This report is generated only when intersystem messages are queued on the local system before being sent to the destination system. The local system must be an intermediate system. This report shows:

  • Maximum time messages spend in queues
  • Average time messages spend in queues
  • Maximum queue lengths
  • Maximum queue counts
  • Total number of messages queued for all links the local system participates in

All three of the reports can have entries in the Distribution Appendix. You can examine the frequency distributions of the traffic if you suspect unusual transmission patterns.
