PK66279: ADD SUPPORT FOR IMSPA INTERNAL TRANSIT RECORDS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• IMS PA creates an internal transaction record from the many log
  records which comprise a transaction. This can be extracted as
  an index record for IMS PI to assist by, for instance,
  identifying a bad response time and then being able to drill
  down to the individual log records for further investigation.

  This APAR is providing the following in this APAR:
  Transaction Index and DB2 Active Log Support as follows:
  1. Transaction Index
  The Transaction Index is a specialized extract file created
  by an IMS Performance Analyzer V4R1 SPE, see APARS PK64427 and
  PK69460.
  Each record in the index represents an IMS transaction and
  contains all the cumulative information from the IMS log
  about that transaction.
  IMSPI uses the index to provide intelligent problem
  detection. The index can be processed on its own or merged
  with the associated IMS log files in an interactive diagnosis
  session to provide improved levels of problem detection. For
  example "Locate all transactions with response time greater
  than 1 second"
  2. DB2 Active Log
  IMSPI APAR PK60772 previously introduced support for DB2 archive
  log files. DB2 active logs were not supported at this time and
  generated the following error message:
  ALZ0108E  Log File Open request failed; ABENDS213-04
  This APAR now allows DB2 active log files(VSAM linear data sets)
  to be processed in the dialog, as well as batch reporting
  and extract functions.
  Note that if the DB2 address space has the active logs allocated
  DISP=OLD then they cannot be used by IMSPI.
  3. Elapsed time option in batch
  The new ELAPSED batch command can be specified in the SYSIN
  command input to cause batch reporting to report the elapsed
  time between log record events, in the same way as the elapsed
  time option works in the dialog.
  The syntax is ELAPSED MICRO|NANO.
  4. Improved IMS montor record reporting.
  5. Editing a Filter now initializes the Level setting to 1,
  rather than unnecessarily prompting for a value.
