Step 2: Define a Log Stream for Historical Plot Data Records (INST0041)

To view online historical plot data records created by the data collectors, define a log stream that contains those records.

Create a unique log stream on each system.

Note: The parmlib members for specifying log stream names are located in the sysview.CNM4BPRM data set.

Follow these steps:

1. Specify the log stream as shown in the example that follows this procedure.
2. Specify the name of the defined log stream in the following parmlib members:

   SYSDATA

   LOGSTREAM-PLOTLOG-NAME   logstream.name
   

   If the plot logging function is not going to be used or the log stream has not been defined, set the following options:

   LOG-PLOT-RECORDS         NO
   

   LOGSTREAM-PLOTLOG-NAME   NONE
   

   LGLOOKUP

   Sysname  Logname......LogStream-Name
   sysname  PLOTLOG      logstream.name
   

3. Submit the INST0041 job.

   The log stream for the historical plot data records is defined, and the contents of the log stream can be viewed online.

Example: Define a DASD-Only Log Stream

This example defines a DASD-only log stream for collecting historical plot data records:

DATA TYPE(LOGR) REPORT(NO)
DEFINE LOGSTREAM
       NAME(GSVX130.SYSDATA.PLOT.smfi)
       AUTODELETE(YES)
       DASDONLY(YES)
       DESCRIPTION(PLOT_LOG)
       DIAG(NO)
       EHLQ(LOGGER)

       LOWOFFLOAD(0)
       LS_SIZE(1000)
       MAXBUFSIZE(32767)
       MODEL(NO)
