The IMS Interface provides data processing managers with a tool to make an effective analysis of IMS activity. The data provided yields a thorough picture of IMS system cost and performance.
Using the IMS Interface you can measure IMS user productivity, monitor the IMS environment, evaluate software efficiency, and provide equitable customer billing and cost distribution.
The interface automatically gathers the information about application resource usage. This information is made available in accounting records on the IMS system log.
Accounting records are reformatted by the interface, producing a summary file, which includes all relevant data in the IMS log record.
The IMS Interface can also be used to generate EXTDATA records that can be processed with the CA EARL and CA Easytrieve report writers. For general information on EXTDATA, see the chapter "EXTDATA Reporting" in the User Guide. Detailed information on how to create EXTDATA is provided later in this chapter.
The interface processes the following IMS log records:
The IMS interface supports IMS releases 1.3 and higher.
