Logs for Multiple Output Listings

In an attempt to provide a single listing for a CA VM:Backup job, the output for each log is staged in virtual storage. When the number of staged print pages for a log exceeds 20 pages, CA VM:Backup sends the log to its assigned virtual printer. Any subsequent lines written to that log are sent when the amount of data to be printed fills two four-kilobyte buffers. If the log is closed before the page limit is exceeded, the data in the closed log is appended to the primary log.

If multiple output listings are created, the fileid of the primary log is jobname VMBACKUP, where jobname is the job template name or the number CA VM:Backup assigns to an end-user or special administrative SFS restore request. Fileids for other listings associated with the job are, for example, jobname VMB00001 and jobname VMB00002.

If a domain detail report is contained in a separate listing (jobname VMBxxxxx), the page column for that domain in the contents of stream report displays the filetype of the report containing the detail report. Similarly, if a Contents of Stream report is contained in a separate listing, the entry for that stream in the Stream-Page column of the Summary of All Tape Volumes report contains the same filetype.
