OPSLOG SETLIVE—Make OPSLOG Live

The OPSLOG SETLIVE command tells CA OPS/MVS to make the requested OPSLOG the live OPSLOG. The live OPSLOG is the log currently used to record events as they occur in the system.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS OPSCTL "OPSLOG {SETLIVE(logname)} optional-keywords"

  SYSTEM(sysid)
  SYSWAIT(nnn)

SETLIVE(logname)

Defines the one- to sixteen-character log name.

SYSTEM and SYSWAIT

(Optional) You may specify the SYSTEM and SYSWAIT keywords described in Keywords Common to ADDRESS OPSCTL OPSLOG Commands in this chapter.

Usage Notes:

• The OPSLOG SETLIVE command execution is somewhat asynchronous. The return code from this command indicates that the command syntax used is valid and that the log switch has occurred to the new live OPSLOG. However as part of the SETLIVE processing the final checkpoint for the previously live OPSLOG must be completed asynchronously under a task in the OPS/MVS main address space. By that time the REXX program or AOF rule that issued this command has resumed execution. The status of the new live OPSLOG is reflected immediately upon completion of this command.
• Immediately prior to the OPSLOG switch a message is issued that is recorded in the previously live OPSLOG indicating the switch to the new live OPSLOG and immediately following the switch a message is issued that is recorded to the new live OPSLOG indicating the name of the previously live OPSLOG. For example the previously live log will contain a message similar to the following:

  OPS4603H NewLogName is now the live OPSLOG and the new live log will contain a message similar to the following:

  OPS4603H OldLogName was the live OPSLOG

Example: SETLIVE command

This command makes TempLog the live OPSLOG. TempLog must be active and read/write for this command to succeed.

ADDRESS OPSCTL "OPSLOG SETLIVE(TempLog)”
