OPSLOG Archive System Overview

OPSLOG archive is the CA OPS/MVS facility for automating the archival of OPSLOG data. This feature enables the automation manager to schedule the routine archiving of OPSLOG data by adjusting parameters. Once these parameters have been set, CA OPS/MVS automatically archives OPSLOG entries at intervals determined by the parameter settings, without further work by the systems manager or operators.

For example, the systems manager can schedule the OPSLOG archive to perform the archive routine whenever the OPSLOG reaches a certain size. Once invoked, the archive facility writes all OPSLOG entries that have accumulated since the last archive operation to a designated data set.

The OPSLOG archive is a sequential data set that contains OPSLOG records for the period that was archived. Member OPAR of the &hlq.CCLXASM data set contains the assembler DSECTs of these records. These DSECTs are for reference only, as incompatible versions may be created for future CA OPS/MVS releases.
