Log Stream Naming Conventions

Log stream naming conventions let you define log streams for online viewing.

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

We suggest the following naming convention, which adheres to the 26-character restriction:

ssidrrm.taskname.type.smfi 

ssid

Specifies the SYSVIEW subsystem ID

rrm.

Specifies the release number plus separator character

taskname.

Specifies the owning SYSVIEW task plus separator character

type.

Specifies the log data type qualifier plus separator character

smfi

Specifies the SMF ID

Limits: 26 characters for the log stream name; the name must be unique across a SYSPLEX. (Any naming convention that provides a unique log stream name across the SYSPLEX is acceptable.)
