OPSLOG archive is the CA OPS/MVS facility for automating the archival of OPSLOG data.
OPSLOG archive lets you 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 that the parameter settings determine. Automatic archival requires no further work by the systems manager or operators.
You can schedule the OPSLOG archive to perform the archive routine with the following triggers:
Once invoked, the archive facility writes all OPSLOG entries that have accumulated since the last archive operation to a designated data set.
As a safeguard against data loss, an initial archive is created when the automated archival subtask starts. A similar safeguard protects changes to the live OPSLOG; an additional archive is created following any change to the live OPSLOG.
OPSLOG archive changes global variables automatically based on the setting of the INITARCH parameter. OPSLOG archive sets the prefix for global variables as GLOBALA.
Note: For more information about the INITARCH parameter, see OPSLOG Archive Parameters.
OPSLOG archive requires no installation.
Note: If you set up OPSLOG archive prior to release 12.2, you can find the documentation for this process in the appendix.
The following CA OPS/MVS parameters control how the OPSLOG archive system works:
Derives names for the Generation Data Group (GDG) base, GDG model, and so on. The maximum length of the parameter is 35 characters.
Limits: 1-35 characters
Note: The value of the ARCHIVEHLQ parameter is expected to be the name of a GDG. You cannot change the HLQ while CA OPS/MVS is running and must restart CA OPS/MVS to change the HLQ. However, you can restart the subtask to accommodate other new parameters by entering the following command from the Browse OPSLOG screen:
/F OPSx,RESTART(ARCH)
Specifies if you want to limit the number of archives CA OPS/MVS creates.
Limits: 1-255
(Optional) Specifies the allocation of the storage class.
Controls the triggering of the OPSLOG archive, based on number of messages, time of day, or interval of time.
(Optional) Specifies a default unit type for the OPSLOG archive.
(Optional) Specifies the allocation of the volume serial.
Debugs the archival process. To generate archival-related trace messages, set the DEBUGARCH parameter to ON.
Initiates the startup and shutdown of the ARCH subtask that controls the archival process.
Default: NO
Note: You can stop the archival process by setting the INITARCH parameter to NO. If you restart immediately after setting the INITARCH parameter to NO, the subtask terminates immediately. If no restart is invoked, the last archive is finished and the subtask terminates automatically. In both cases, there is no need to restart CA OPS/MVS.
