Customize OPSLOG Archive (12.1 and Earlier)

To customize the rules, jobs, and REXX routines included on your CA OPS/MVS distribution media, follow these steps:

1. Define the generation data group () that you want for your OPSLOG archive. Consider the following:
   • You must change the ARCHMSG and ARCHMSG2 rules to include the actual data set name that contains the ARCHJOB JCL.
   • The supplied job, ARCHGDG, uses a default name of SYS1.OPSS.ARCHIVE for the GDG.
   • ARCHGDG has a GDG limit of 255; it automatically deletes the oldest entry when a new entry exceeds the limit.
   • ARCHGDG allocates the pattern (or model) DSCB for the GDG; for specific information concerning the creation of generation data groups, see the Access Method Services for Integrated Catalog Facility guide; do not change the DSORG, LRECL, or RECFM on the pattern DSCB allocation.
   • The second supplied job, ARCHJOB, executes OI to run the OPS/REXX routine ARCHTRCK; you may need to modify the data set names for this job; both the ARCHGDG and ARCHJOB jobs will need valid job cards for your site.
2. Ensure that you have modified the appropriate variables through the Applications Parameter Manager, main OPSVIEW menu option 2.A.

   The following are example settings, as displayed from option 2.A:

3. You may need to make these changes to customize the OPSLOG archive rules for your site:
   • You must change the pattern on the ARCHSECG rule if you change the global variable base name.
   • Modify the ARCHSECG and ARCHSEC8 rules to compare on the correct OPSLOG archive job name.
   • Change the job name check in the ARCHSECP rule.
   • Define the ARCHFAIL rule so that the SEND command specifies the correct user ID to be notified if the OPSLOG archive creation fails.
   • Change the ARCHMSG rule to specify the correct data set to submit ARCHJOB.
