Routing EREP Records to Another User ID

The RETRIEVE command lets you route certain error records to another user ID after a specified time interval has elapsed. Routing of error records is useful if your installation uses a centralized hardware service program.

To route error records, specify the LOGROUTE operand on the RETRIEVE command. For example, to direct error records to user SERVMACH at node CORPVM7 every 60 minutes, specify:
retrieve erep logroute to servmach at corpvm7 for 60

LOGROUTE can be specified when you manually start RETRIEVE processing or when RETRIEVE processing is automatically started. In the latter case, add the LOGROUTE operand to the RETRIEVE command in the PROFILE EXEC of the EREP machine.

RETRIEVE processing accumulates error records in a CMS file on file mode A of the EREP machine, and uses the CMS SENDFILE command to route the error records to the specified user. The destination can be either a z/VM system or a TSO system.

Accumulated error records are also sent when service alert (type A3) or serial incident (type A2) error records are retrieved.
