Abstract

A method and system for autonomic Information Management System (IMS) mainframe database pointer error diagnostic data extraction. A receiving module may receive a database name and an error detection time. An error detection module may locate database pointer errors on the failed IMS database. A list module may generate an Image Copy (IC) list corresponding to the failed database. A code generation module may generate Job Control Language (JCL) code for the selected entries in the IC list. An execution module executes the JCL code which operates a pointer checker utility on each clean IC. A log list module locates log data sets recorded in the time between the error and when the error was detected and an extraction module extracts an evaluation log list which comprises evaluation log data sets.
