Diagnosis

These topics provide guidance and reference information for setting up an IMS system for diagnosis, collecting information to help diagnose IMS problems, and searching problem-reporting databases.

These topics also describe how to use keywords to develop a failure description that you can use to search problem-reporting databases and communicate with IBM® Software Support.

These topics are the same as those in the PDF publication IMS Version 14 Diagnosis (GC19-4216-02), but the content in IBM Knowledge Center is updated more frequently. To download the PDF publication, go to the IBM Publications Center.
