Collecting IMS records from OLDS

Edit online

If the transaction rate of your IMS system is high, and you do not want to install the IMS LOGWRT user exit, you can use the System Data Engine to collect IMS records directly from OLDS.

About this task

  1. You need to use a separate System Data Engine started task to monitor the IMS OLDS status and collect the IMS log records when log switching occurs. See Creating started tasks in PROCLIB for more details.
  2. Additional required authorities are required. See Security requirements for collecting IMS logs from OLDS for more details.
