General CA MIM Statements and Commands › SWITCHLOG Command

SWITCHLOG Command

The SWITCHLOG command lets you switch to a new log file. This command tells CA MIM to start recording information in the next file associated with the log.

SWITCHLOG name

name

Identifies the log that you are removing.

Note:

• Use this command only if you previously added DD names or dsnames through ADDLOG command. Do not use it when the log is defined as a SYSOUT data set.
• Use this command only when multiple DD names previously defined through the ADDLOG command and are defined for a single log.
• The order in which these log files are defined on the ADDLOG command, determines which file CA MIM selects.
• When the last log file is in use and a SWITCHLOG command is issued, CA MIM uses the first log file and overwrites its contents.

  Example:
  

To switch to the next file for log MIMTRC, issue this command:
