Use this command to change the output device for the BDT system log from its original destination to a new destination. The output device you designate may be one or more of the following: a printer, consoles receiving JES3 routing code messages, or your console.

                                     .-----------.   
                                     V           |   
>>-prefix--+-MODIFY-+--,LOG,SYSLOG=----+-PRINT-+-+-------------><
           '-F------'                  +-JES3--+     
                                       '-WTO---'     

prefix

is the prefix that is appropriate for your console or terminal. Do not use a prefix when submitting commands in a batch job.

LOG

specifies the BDT system log.

PRINT

specifies a printer as the output device for the system log.

JES3

specifies consoles receiving JES3 routing code messages as the output device for the system log.

WTO

specifies your console as the output device for the system log.

Note: Do not route the log to a console that has to be “cleared”. This type of console will flood with the log messages, and you will not be able to enter a command to stop receiving the log. Route the log only to a console that “rolls”.

1. When specifying more than one output device, use commas to separate output devices and enclose the list in parentheses. (See the examples.)
2. Use the I,LOG command to display the current log destination.

BDT9921 PRIMARY SYSLOG DESTINATION(S): {[PRINT|JES3|WTO]}

The BDT system log is routed to the designated devices.

1. Using an F id prefix, route the BDT system log to the printer. The identifier of BDT (for use in the prefix) is A2.

   F A2 MODIFY,LOG,SYSLOG=PRINT

   Result:

   BDT9921  PRIMARY SYSLOG DESTINATION(S): PRINT

2. Using a prefix of *S,BDT, route the BDT system log to the printer and to JES3 consoles.

   el2BDT,F,LOG,SYSLOG=(PRINT,JES3)

   Result:

   BDT9921  PRIMARY SYSLOG DESTINATION(S): PRINT,JES3
