DSMULOG (Capture IBM Spectrum Protect server messages to a user log file)

Use this command to capture IBM Spectrum® Protect server console messages to a user log file. You can specify that IBM Spectrum Protect writes messages to more than one user log file.

Important: Do not place the user logs in the /usr or /opt file systems because space constraints in the file system can prevent the server from starting.

Syntax

Parameters

logfilename (Required): Specifies the name of one or more user log files to which IBM Spectrum Protect writes server console messages. When you specify multiple file names, each file is written to for one day and then the server moves to the next file to capture log messages. When all the files in the list have been written to, the server begins writing to the first file again and any messages contained therein are overwritten.

Example: Capture server console messages to a user log file on a daily basis

Specify the user log files to which you want to log console messages.

In this example, if you invoke this utility on Friday, on Friday the server messages are captured to log1, on Saturday the messages are captured to log2, and on Sunday the messages are captured to log3. On Monday, the messages are captured to log1 and the messages from the previous Friday are overwritten.
