Customizing archiving

You can write user exit routines to process log records and copy certain log records to user data sets. For example, you can copy all records required for restarting Batch Message Processing programs (BMPs) to a user data set.

To customize archiving, specify the entry points for the exit routine using Log Archive utility control statements. IMS gives control to the exit routines when:

• The Log Archive utility is initialized.
• IMS reads the OLDS.
• The Log Archive utility terminates.
