Intellimagic support for x'45' records

Intellimagic requires IMS x'45' log records for some reporting. We currently use IMS PA to get the other records Intellimagic requires, would like to keep this all in one process and have IMS PA also provide the x'45' records.

    We have reviewed this Idea with the IBM IMS Performance Analyzer team, IBM IntelliMagic team, and the customer and have concluded that no change will be made to IMS Performance Analyzer to capture x'45' records. Extracts for IMS support in IntelliMagic (beyond the IMS PA CA01 transaction summary records) will be done via a process provided by IntelliMagic.
