Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All z APM Connect v 6.1.0 users with IMS     *
  *                 MSC(Multiple Systems Coupling) VTAM Links.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IMS MSC links generate different IMS    *
  *                      log records that zAPM Connect did not   *
  *                      intercept to track transactions         *
  *                      running in an IMS MSC link environment. *
  *                      The zAPM IMS in-bound is not generated  *
  *                      causing no IMS node on the AppD UI.     *
  *                      Only IMS Connect nodes are seen.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this ++APAR.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  IMS MSC VTAM Links were not supported.
  

Problem conclusion

• zAPM Connect has been enhanced to tracking transactions running
  in an IMS MSC Link environment and transactions routed to
  another IMS via the MSC Link. We will now see IMS Connect node
  linked to the first IMS and the second IMS linked to the first
  IMS as the transaction is routed to other IMS.
