z/OS Operation Notes

  1. Specify OUTCLAS to assign print output to other than CLASS=A.
  2. Specify LOGALIB to be the same as LOADLIB in STEP1 of the installation procedure.
  3. Specify PROG if you have changed the name of the CA IDMS Log Analyzer module as created in the first step of the installation process.
  4. Specify LOGDSN to name the input Archive Log File. This file must be the SYS002 file from the CA IDMS ARCHIVE LOG utility or the SYS020 file from CA Culprit Statistics Report 99.
  5. Specify LOGUNIT and LOGVOL if the archive log file to be processed by CA IDMS Log Analyzer is not a cataloged dataset. Observe the required format for these parameters.
  6. Specify SORTCYL, EXTCYL or BILLCYL if CYL (5,5) is not an appropriate space allocation for that file.

    You can estimate file size if you know how many run-units are likely to match the selection criteria of your REPORT parameter statements. For each run-unit, 19 records are created for each HI-SUM request, and one record is created for every other type of report. These records are sorted and then written to the EXTRACT file. Also, each record for a BILLING request where FILE = YES or FILE = ONLY is written to the BILLFILE.

  7. Specify EXTBLK to create an EXTRACT file BLKSIZE suited to the type of storage device used in your environment.

    Extract records for Billing or Program reports are 516 bytes long. All other records on the variable length extract file are 164 bytes long. EXTBLK may specify any BLKSIZE that is at least 4 bytes larger than the largest record being created. The default EXTBLK is 6144.

  8. Specify EXTDISP to choose a final disposition of the Extract File. The Extract File is used within CA IDMS Log Analyzer. The default disposition is (NEW, DELETE, DELETE).
  9. Specify BILLDSN to name the Billing Record File that CA IDMS Log Analyzer is to create. This may be specified as BILLDSN=NULLFILE if no Billing record File is to be created.
  10. Specify BILLBLK to create a BILLING RECORD file BLKSIZE suited to the type of storage device used at your installation. BILLBLK must specify a BLKSIZE that is a multiple of 100, the BILLFILE file record length. The default BILLBLK is 6100.
  11. Specify BILDISP to choose a disposition for the Billing Record File. The default disposition is CATLG. Specify BILDISP=PASS or BILDISP=DELETE.
  12. If it is required by your installation, insert //SORTLIB DD DSN=sort-library-name, DISP=SHR prior to the parameter statements. This statement names the library containing your SORT utility.
