How to Allocate a Data Set for the Restored OPSLOG

If the target data set that you specify on the Restore from Archive panel does not exist, the Allocate New OPSLOG panel appears. Use this panel to indicate information about the target data set. Following is a sample:

Allocate new OPSLOG ---- MSI1 ---- O P S V I E W ------------- Subsystem OPSS
COMMAND ===>
DATA SET NAME:
   Volume Serial       ===>              (Specify either Volser 
   Storage Class       ===>               or Storage Class)
   Primary quantity    ===> 1            (In records)
   Secondary quantity  ===> 1            (In records)
   Average recordsize:      436
Press ENTER to allocate above OPSLOG data set 
Enter END command to return to Restore from Archive panel

On the Allocate New OPSLOG panel, specify either the volume serial or the SMS storage class where you want to allocate the new OPSLOG data set.

By default, the number of records in the source (archived) data set appears when you access this panel. If you leave the default as it is, the target (OPSLOG) data set will be able to hold all of the events from the source data set. If you specify a smaller size for the OPSLOG data set, it may not be large enough to hold all of the events that you select for restoration.

The target (OPSLOG) data set must be a VSAM linear (DIV) data set.

After you have allocated the target data set, proceed to the next section, How to Specify Filter Criteria for the Restored OPSLOG.
