IMS Commander workspace

Edit online

The IMS Commander workspaces (KIPILOG and KIPILOGS) display all IMS commands, command responses, messages plus console messages from IMS control region address spaces.

The ILOG mode (KIPILOG) displays up to 10,000 lines in the console output subpanel and you can filter the output data by time range, message type, specific word, and so on.

The SDSF mode (KIPILOGS) has been enhanced to display more than 10,000 lines by pressing the PF8 key. Filtering is not available.

The following functions are available in both modes:
  • Console to enter IMS type-1 and type-2 commands. The logon user id of the e3270UI session needs appropriate authority to issue the commands. For a type-1 command, the command will be routed to the IMS specified in the IMSplex and IMSid fields on the top-right corner of the workspace. For a type-2 command, if both IMSplex and IMSid are specified, the command will be routed only to the specified IMS. If only an IMSplex is specified and the IMSid field is empty, the command will be routed to all registered members in the IMSplex.
  • Console to view IMS MTO and WTO messages issued in the IMS control region address spaces (CTL, DLI, DBRC, and IRLM).
  • TOP, BOTTOM, and FIND commands on the workspace command line and PF5 key to search specific words in the console output subpanel.
  • Message Trap definitions to highlight or suppress specific messages. For more information, see "Enabling the IMS Commander Message Trap" in the Planning and Configuration Guide.
  • Archival of the console output messages to a data set. For the configuration, see "IMS Commander Archival parameters" in the IBM® OMEGAMON® for IMS™ on z/OS®: Parameter Reference.

Subpanels

The IMS Commander workspaces contain the command console and output.

Note: The IMS Commands workspace (KIPCMD) has been replaced with the IMS Commander workspace (KIPILOG). The older workspace can be navigated by entering =KIPCMD on the command line of the enhanced 3270 user interface.
