DL/I Data Access Information Needed in E-3270

In our previous z/OS monitoring tools, we were able to see the DL/I information (using CALL DLI and EXEC DLI) for Batch programs using IMS/DBCTL. This information included the following:

1. All PSBs used, including those for programs invoked via CALL.

2. All DBDs accessed, counts of how many Inserts, Deletes, Updates, Get-Next (GN), Get Hold (GH), Get-Next-Parent (GNP), etc. were done against each DBD. This provided similar IMS data access information as what we get for other data access via VSAM or QSAM.

We have no IMS/TM, so we have never had an IMS monitoring product because our z/OS monitoring tools provided the needed IMS data access information. We know this information is available without a separate IMS monitoring product. We need the E-3270 interface to provide the IMS/DBCTL DL/I data access information in the Omegamon/zOS product in order to return to the functionality we've had in the past.
