C.2.1 Executing the WLE Utility


The WLE utility must execute before the normal CA MICS daily
update jobs.  It extracts IBM WebSphere log data and creates
a z/OS or OS/390 dataset for input processing into the
DAY052 step for a CA MICS unit containing the CA MICS Web
Analyzer.

In order to collect log file data, you must run the Web Log
Extractor.  The WLE Utility can be run from batch or UNIX
System Services.  If you choose to use batch, do not switch
to UNIX System Services or your batch job will be
overwritten.  It is recommended that all jobs and parameter
tailoring be performed through batch.
