PI85319: IMPROVE TRACKING RESULTS IN COMBINED IMS/IMS CONNECT EXTENSIONS ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT RDDS HEADER RECORD

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• New function to:
  1) Improve Tracking results in combined IMS/IMS Connect
     Extensions environment.
  2) Support RDDS Header record.
  3) Minor KM updates for improved formatting of several record
     types.
  4) Utilize the unique message correlator in the OTMA OMHDRTIM
     field for a transaction using SendOnly protocol, which was
     implemented via IMS Connect APAR PI60128.  This will help
     Problem Investigator more reliably associate the IMS and IMS
     Connect Extensions records when returning the result set
     for a combined transaction.

  1. APAR PI60128 for IMS Connect provides a unique message
     correlator in the OTMA OMHDRTIM field for a transaction
     using SendOnly protocol. IMS PI Tracking(TX or TU tracking
     command) will utilize the OMHDRTIM field value to more
     reliably associate the IMS and IMS Connect Extensions
     records  when returning the result set for a combined
     transaction.
     When a Resume Tpipe command is issued by IMS Connect to
     process the Hold Queue data from an IMS transaction, the
     message correlator in the MHDRTIM field will be used to
     associate the IMS Connect originating transaction, the
     resultant IMS transaction and the Resume Tpipe transaction
     in the result set. (However, where the original IMS Connect
     transaction is from a persistent socket connection there is
     no way to reliably connect the returned message with a
     specific sequence of event records from the Resume Tpipe
     transaction, therefore all records for the Resume Tpipe
     transaction are returned in the result set.).
  
  2. Improve end-to-end reporting of ODBM transactions in a
     combined IMS/IMS Connect Extensions environment.
  
  3. Add a new Knowledge Module to format RDDS Header record.
  
  4. Minor KM updates for improved formatting of several record
     types.
