Displaying statistics on IMS Connect activity

Events statistics displayed in the Status Monitor can be accessed by first selecting an IMS™ Connect system or group followed by selecting the Status Monitor tab in the IMS Connect Extensions Operations Console.

Before you begin

To display activity for a system, statistics collection must be active. For more information, see "System Definition" in the IBM® IMS Connect Extensions Users Guide.

Procedure

  1. Open an IMS Connect system or group using the Navigation view. See Browsing systems.
  2. Select the Status Monitor tab. The Status Monitor tab is located at the bottom of the editor. If you enter the status monitor from a group, all components within that group are displayed.

    TCP/IP ports (and local adaptor).
    Exits
    User exits.
    Datastores
    IMS data stores.
    Datastore Groups
    IMS data store groups.
    ODBMs
    Open Database Manager (ODBM) targets.
    Aliases

    IMS Connect system status, name, port number, keep alive value, accepted, ACK, DEALLOC, and ignore counts, input count and number of bytes, input max and min, NAK, rejected and rejected EXER counts.
  4. Select a statistics reporting window and refresh the display.
    • To do this in the Ports tab, select a value from the Ports interval dropdown.
    • For all other tabs, select a value from the Other Interval dropdown.
    After you have selected a value, force a refresh by clicking the Refresh Refresh the Display icon button.

    Event statistics in IMS Connect Extensions are collected every 20 seconds. The value you select in the dropdown determines the reporting window that the summary statistics represent.

    The following values are available in the Other Interval dropdown.
    20 seconds
    The last (most recent) 20 second interval.
    1 minute
    The last minute (sum of the last three 20 second intervals).
    1-15 minutes
    The last quarter hour (sum of the most recent 15 minutes).
    16-30 minutes
    The second-last quarter hour (sum of 16-30 minutes ago).
    31-45 minutes
    The third-last quarter hour (sum of 31-45 minutes ago).
    46-60 minutes
    The fourth-last quarter hour (sum of 46-60 minutes ago).
    1 hour
    Sum of activity in the last hour.

    For the Ports interval dropdown, you can select from 20 seconds and 1 minute.

  5. Optional: To refresh the statistics automatically every 20 seconds, click the Refresh icon Auto button so that it displays Auto Off. To stop the display being automatically refreshed, click the Refresh icon Auto button again.
