Archiving OPSLOG DATA › Set the Archive Parameters

Set the Archive Parameters

Three CA OPS/MVS parameters control how the OPSLOG archive system works:

• The BROWSEARCHIVEDSN parameter specifies a default name for the OPSLOG archive data set. You can specify any valid data set name; there is no default name.

  The CA OPS/MVS ARCHTRCK REXX program expects the value of the BROWSEARCHIVEDSN parameter to be the name of a Generation Data Group (GDG).

• The BROWSEARCHIVEUNIT parameter specifies a default unit type for the OPSLOG archive; there is no default unit type.
• The ARCHIVETRIGGER parameter determines how many OPSLOG messages accumulate before CA OPS/MVS initiates an archive job. CA OPS/MVS uses the ARCHIVETRIGGER parameter to determine when to issue the OPS4403O message. The default is zero, but you can specify any number of messages up to 1000000000. The number you specify should be about half the size of the number specified for the BROWSEMAX parameter. Setting the ARCHIVETRIGGER value this way gives the archive time to complete before the OPSLOG wraps.

To set values for these parameters, invoke the OPSPRM REXX function using the syntax shown in Tailor the OPSSPA00 REXX Program in the Installation Guide. If you set no values for BROWSEARCHIVEDSN and BROWSEARCHIVEUNIT, CA OPS/MVS uses the data set name and unit type specified in OPARLGCR, the REXX program that creates the archive.
