Configuring IBM Tivoli Output Manager for data store

To continue to save an IBM Z Workload Scheduler copy of the sysouts in the data store, add a Tivoli Output Manager sub-selector to Tivoli Output Manager. In this way, you have sysouts captured in both Tivoli Output Manager and IBM Z Workload Scheduler without impacting either product.

To add a sub-selector, perform the following steps:
  1. From Administrative Functions go the Search for Selector Rules dialog to retrieve the selector rule you defined for the IBM Z Workload Scheduler sysouts. Enter the ss command next to the selector name to add a sub-selector. For example:
    Figure 1. IBM Tivoli® Output Manager - Adding a sub-selector.

    The Subselector Rule dialog is displayed.

  2. In the Subselector Rule dialog, set Status to Skip and specify the destination used for the job log data store in the Destination field. The value for Destination must be equal to the value defined for the DSTDEST keyword of the RCLOPTS initialization statement of IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

    Also, select (/) Advanced Selection criteria. For example:

  4. In the Subselector Rules dialog, move the sub-selector that you have just created as the first sub-selector in the list. In this way, IBM Tivoli Output Manager will skip all the sysouts with the destination that you specified in step 2.
  5. Save your changes and return to the list of selector rules. The top level selector rule you just defined is now eligible to process any job log generated by IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
  6. Save and enter the ACT primary command to activate your changes.
