Primary Commands for the Archive Tracking Entries Panel

The following primary commands may be used on the Archive Tracking Entries panel. Enter primary commands in the Command field.

MERGE

Merges two or more existing archives into one new archive.

The MERGE command lists all available archive entries. Select up to 255 entries for merging by placing an S in the prefix area next to each entry. After selecting the entries, press PF3 to continue with the request or enter the CANCEL command to cancel it.

If you press PF3, the Merge Archive Submit panel appears. Use this panel to complete the request. The panel prompts you for this information about the merged archive:

• Data set name
• Volume serial number
• Unit type
• Up to four default job statements for the merge job. The statements are kept from session to session.

Press PF3 to submit the merge job or enter the CANCEL command to cancel it.

REFRESH

Refreshes the entries on the panel so that you can view any new archives that were created since the session began. When you issue the REFRESH command, the entries return to their default sort order.

SORT colname

Sorts the entries according to the value of colname. Values for colname are:

• FIRST
• LAST
• SUBSYS
• SMFID
• RECORDS (or COUNT)
• DEFAULT
• CREATION
• JOBNAME
• DATASET (or DSN)

You must specify at least one column name. You can specify more than one value at a time. For example, suppose you specify this command:

SORT SUBSYS FIRST

As a result, CA OPS/MVS sorts the entries first by the name of the CA OPS/MVS subsystem from which the archives were taken, and then by the dates and times of the first events in the archive data sets.

Point-and-shoot is enabled to SORT the archive tracking table using any column heading. To SORT the archive tracking table using the point-and-shoot method, place the cursor on the bottom line of a column heading and press Enter.
