Autoinstalling journals

CICS® writes journal data to journals or logs on log streams managed by the z/OS® System Logger, or to SMF. You must define JOURNALMODELs so that the connection between the journal name, or identifier, and the log stream, or SMF log, can be made. Journals are not user-definable resources.

You can use RDO, DFHCSDUP, or an EXEC CICS CREATE JOURNALMODEL command to define a JOURNALMODEL.

CICS resolves the link between the log stream and the journal request by using user-defined JOURNALMODELs or, in the situation where an appropriate JOURNALMODEL does not exist, by using default names created by resolving symbolic names. See JOURNALMODEL resources for more information about this.
