Defining the Sequential Logging Function

To use the sequential logging function, use the following task statements in the CNMSTUSR or CxxSTGEN member, and modify them as needed. For information about changing CNMSTYLE statements, see IBM Z® NetView Installation: Getting Started.

*TASK.SQLOGTSK.MOD=DSIZDST
TASK.SQLOGTSK.MEM=SQLOGMEM
TASK.SQLOGTSK.PRI=2
TASK.SQLOGTSK.INIT=N       

SQLOGMEM is the name of the member in DSIPARM that specifies the initialization parameters for the sequential logging task SQLOGTSK. The following definitions are the initialization definitions:

DSTINIT FUNCT=OTHER

Include this statement, and code FUNCT=OTHER.

DSTINIT DSRBO=1

The system default is 3, but, for this task, use only 1.

DSTINIT PBSDN=SQLOGP

This is the primary log DDNAME and must be the same name specified on the DD statement in the CNMPROC (CNMSJ009) member or defined by the ALLOCATE command.

DSTINIT SBSDN=SQLOGS

This is the secondary DDNAME and must be the same name specified on the DD statement in CNMPROC (CNMSJ009) or defined by the ALLOCATE command.

DSTINIT XITBN=xxxxx

This is the data set initialization routine.

DSTINIT XITBO=xxxxx

This is the sequential log output exit routine.

LOGINIT AUTOFLIP=YES

This permits the NetView system to switch from a secondary data set that is out of space to the primary data set. The NetView system always switches from the primary to the secondary if the out-of-space condition occurs on the primary data set.

LOGINIT RESUME=NO

This tells the NetView system not to resume processing of the sequential log data sets at task startup. If you code RESUME=YES, the NetView program determines which of the two data sets (PBSDN or SBSDN) was last used for sequential logging. Later logging of data is appended to that data set. After the initial RESUME, any switching of data sets, for a manual switch or automatic switch (AUTOFLIP), begins writing records at the top of the output data set. The previous data is erased.

Note: Code RESUME=NO for the first use of the log data set. This causes the NetView program to initiate the data set.

DSIPARM member CNMCMENT contains the following CMDDEF statements for the sequential logging function:

CMDDEF.DSIBSWCP.MOD=DSIBSWCP
CMDDEF.DSIBSWCP.TYPE=D
CMDDEF.DSIBSWCP.SEC=BY
CMDDEF.DSIZBSQW.MOD=DSIZBSQW
CMDDEF.DSIZBSQW.TYPE=RD
CMDDEF.DSIZBSQW.PARSE=N
CMDDEF.DSIZBSQW.SEC=BY
