Analyzing problems using sessions
Using sessions offers a structured, team-oriented approach to analyzing problems. Sessions encapsulate information about a problem and its analysis that you can share with other users.
About this task
After registering a session and locating its associated log files, you can begin analyzing the problem by browsing logs and creating reports.
When you use a session, any option you select that generates new JCL, such as creating reports or extracts, creates a corresponding batch job task in the session workflow. If you submit the JCL, then you can view the job output in the session: on the session menu, select 2 , and then enter ? next to the task.
Alternatively, if you do not wish to use sessions, you can analyze problems using a personal ad hoc list of log files. However, using sessions has many advantages, such as allowing you to more easily share your analysis with other users.
