Process and View Log Streams

CA SYSVIEW uses MVS log streams to store data collection information. This information is written to a log stream in the form of an SMF record. The primary purpose for using MVS log streams is to allow easy and quick viewing of historical data.

All data that is written to the MVS log streams can also be optionally written to the MVS SMF log. See online help topic: SMF records created by CA SYSVIEW.

1. View all log streams used by CA SYSVIEW using a corresponding online display command as follows:

   AUDITLOG
