Step 3: Define a Log Stream for XLOG Log Stream (INST0042)

This step defines a log stream to contain the exception records that the following data collectors create:

• IMS
• MVS
• TCP/IP
• WebSphere MQ

A unique log stream must be created 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 log stream that this step defines in the following parmlib members:

   SYSDATA:

   LOGSTREAM-XLOG-NAME     logstream.name 
   

   If the exception records are not going to be used or the log stream has not been defined, set the following options:

   LOG-XLOG-RECORDS       NO 
   LOGSTREAM-XLOG-NAME    NONE 
   

   LGLOOKUP:

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

3. Submit the INST0042 JOB.

   The log stream for the XLOG state exception records is defined.

Example: Define the XLOG Log Stream

This example defines an XLOG log stream for collecting exception records.
