Allocating IMS Connect log record data sets

IMS Connect writes log records to the HWSRCDR data set.

Recommendation: Instead of setting up IMS Connect to write log records to the HWSRCDR data set, use the Base Primitive Environment (BPE) to manage the output of the IMS Connect Recorder Trace facility. Configure BPE for an external trace of IMS Connect.

To allocate the HWSRCDR data set from TSO, use the following settings:
