Restore from Archive Filter Panel

Use the Restore from Archive Filter panel to indicate the selection criteria for the events that you want to be restored. Following is a sample Restore from Archive Filter panel:

Restore from Archive --- MSI1 ---- O P S V I E W ------------- Subsystem OPSS
COMMAND ===>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    YYYY/MM/DD   HH:MM
1.      Start ===>                    (leave blank to restore entire archive)
        End   ===>                    (leave blank to restore entire archive)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.    Jobname ===>           ===>            ===>           ===>

The Restore from Archive Filter panel is divided into three sections. Each section pertains to a type of criteria that you can specify to determine which events will appear in the restored OPSLOG. The three types of criteria are:

Date and time range criteria
Non-event-related criteria
Event-related criteria

For an automation event to appear in the restored OPSLOG, these statements must be true:

The event must have occurred in the date and time range that you indicate in section 1 of the panel.
The event must meet at least one of the non-event-related criteria that you indicate in section 2 (if any).
The event must be one of the event types that you indicate in section 3 (if any).

If any of the three sections on the panel are left blank (or in the case of section 3, are filled with only N values), CA OPS/MVS does not consider that section when it selects events to be restored. For example, if you specify values in sections 1 and 3, but specify no values for section 2, the events that will be restored will be those that meet the criteria in sections 1 and 3.

The following fields appear on the Restore from archive Filter panel:

Start

To restore only a portion of the events in the archive, specify the desired starting date and time. All events that occurred after the start time are restored.

To specify the current date and time, type an asterisk (*) into the field or fields.

If you leave the fields blank, events are restored regardless of the date and time at which they occurred.

End

To restore only a portion of the events in the archive, specify the desired ending date and time. All events that occurred before the end time are restored.

To specify the current date and time, type an asterisk (*) into the field or fields.

If you leave the fields blank, events are restored regardless of the date and time at which they occurred.

Jobname

Specify a job name to limit restored events to those that were produced by a particular job. Specify up to four values.

MsgID

Specify a message ID to limit restored events to those with a particular message ID. You may specify up to four values.

Ruleset/Rule name

Specify the name of a rule set, a rule, or both, to limit restored events to those that were processed by a particular rule set or rule.

Color

Specify a color to limit restored events to those that appear in a particular color in the OPSLOG. Specify up to four values.

The color filter works only on those events that CA OPS/MVS has specifically tagged with a color. Although most events appear in default colors of green, white, or red, many of them have a color value of NONE (unless your site assigns color values in either a rule or an exit routine).

System

Specify an SMF ID to limit restored events to those that were produced on a particular system.

UserFld

Specify a user ID to limit restored events to those that are associated with a particular user field value. Specify up to four values.

MSG

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF message events. Or, specify N.

CMD

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF command events. Or, specify N.

DIS

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF rule disabling events. Or, specify N.

DOM

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF delete-operator-message events. Or, specify N.

ENA

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF rule enabling events. Or, specify N.

EOM

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF end-of-memory events. Or, specify N.

GLV

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF global variable events. Or, specify N.

OMG

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF OMEGAMON events. Or, specify N.

REQ

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF request events. Or, specify N.

SEC

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF security events. Or, specify N.

SCR

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF screen events. Or, specify N.

TOD

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF time-of-day events. Or, specify N.

TRC

Specify Y to limit restored events to rule trace events that pertain to any AOF event type. Or, specify N.

ARM

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF automatic restart manager events. Or, specify N.

EOJ

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF end-of-job events. Or, specify N.

EOS

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF end-of-step events. Or, specify N.

TLM

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF time limit events. Or, specify N.

USS

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF UNIX System Services events. Or, specify N.

API

Specify Y to limit restored events to AOF API events. Or, specify N.

Note: For the Jobname, MsgID, Ruleset, Rule Name, System, and UserFld fields, you can use an asterisk to indicate a wildcard match. For example, if you specify IEF* in one of the MsgID fields, all events whose message IDs begin with the letters IEF are restored.
