Hi,
I did not find any suitable forum other than this.

I am looking for an Activity / Trace logs in Mainframe. For ex. connections made and communications (transactions) done with CICS, Database, MQ during execution of the jobs.

I can get these details separately but not in one log (That's what i am aware of, pls correct me if wrong).

Please let me know if my question is not clear.

Thanks

Look at the Systems Management Facility (SMF) data. SMF data contains details about things executing on the mainframe. However, be aware that unless your site uses an interpretation tool such as MXG or MICS, it can be very difficult to get meaningful data out of SMF. There are over 100 record types and in some cases records have to be summarized to generate a true picture of the application resource usage.

do not double post...
it should not have been too difficult to notice that the people answering are pretty the same on both forums
