5.3.1 Operations Incident File (OPSOPI)


The Operations Incident File (OPSOPI) identifies major
operational actions and when they occurred.  The OPSOPI file
only exists as one DETAIL time-span cycle, where it contains
one record for each SMF record.  The SMFOPS parameter's
INCIDENTLIMIT statement controls the contents of this file.
Refer to section 7.3.1.17 for more information about the
INCIDENTLIMIT statement.

The OPSOPI file is derived from the following SMF records:

  - Start JES Record           (type 43)
  - Stop JES Record            (type 45)
  - System Status Record       (type 90)
  - IPL Record                 (type  0)
  - Data Lost Record           (type  7)
  - SMF Status Record          (type 23)
  - TIOC Initialization Record (type 31)

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
