Start the Archive Creation Process

There are two methods for starting the archive creation process.

To submit it as a batch job

  1. In the job statement section at the bottom of the Archive OPSLOG Filter panel, specify up to four default job statements to be used when building the archive creation JCL.
  2. To start the archive creation process, enter B in the Command field at the top of the panel.

The second method is to run it online by pressing Enter, and the archive creation process starts immediately. Running the process online delays your TSO session until the archive creation is complete. When the process is complete, a list of archive creation messages appears on the panel.
