Starting exception analysis

You can start exception analysis for all exceptions or for a limited group of exceptions.

All exceptions

To start exception analysis:

Select option E from the Main menu.
From the Exceptions menu, select option A to start group exception analysis or option B to display systemwide exceptions. When exception analysis is running, a warning message appears whenever an exception condition occurs.
When no exception conditions exist in your system, OMEGAMON® for IMS displays the following message:
```
No exceptions tripped this cycle
```

You can customize this message on the Set All Clear Message panel. Type P.F.A on the INFO-line and press Enter.

OMEGAMON for IMS displays the Set All Clear Message panel that is shown in the following figure.

Exceptions by groups

OMEGAMON for IMS organizes exceptions into logically related types, which you can use to execute, display, and customize as a group. To display exception groups, you can select an option on the Exceptions menu. For example, the Master Terminal Operator Exceptions panel displays the exceptions that are related to IMS internals, and those exceptions that are related to DASD logging (DL group).

You can see a list of the existing exception groups at your site. From command mode (press PF12 to toggle to command mode from menu mode), type GDFN with no arguments. You can also use OMEGAMON for IMS to define your own exception groups with GDFN.
