Implementing Activity Logs › Implement Online Activity Logging

Implement Online Activity Logging

During initialization, the region allocates, by default, three VSAM log files for online logging. However, you can allocate up to seven files.

Note: The log file IDs are of the form NMLOGnn and the data set names are of the form dsnpref.rname.NMLOGnn. (dsnpref is the data set prefix used during product installation and rname is the name of the region.)

Use Additional Log Files

If you want to make more than three files available to the region, define the new VSAM files and then customize the LOGFILES parameter group by defining additional logging data sets.

To customize the LOGFILES parameter group

1. Enter /PARMS at the prompt.

   The Customizer : Parameter Groups list appears.

2. Enter U beside the LOGFILES parameter group.

   The Customizer : Parameter Group panel for the LOGFILES parameter group appears.

3. Press F8 (Forward) to display the next page.
4. Complete the fields for each file you want to make available. To allocate more files, press F8 (Forward) again.
5. When you have specified the required number of log files, press F6 (Action) to allocate and open the files.
6. Press F6 (Action).

   The changes are applied.

7. Press F3 (File).

   The changes are saved.
