Parameter specifications for DFSMShsm output management


The action parameters in the following table identify the general input source. Each of these action parameters begins a specification for one output set.

Related topic

Other action and selection parameters (Selection parameters and Output parameters) define the input and output information.

Action parameters

Action Parameter

Description

BACKUP

DFSMShsm backup logs are processed.

MIGRATION

DFSMShsm migration logs are processed.

DUMP

DFSMShsm dump logs are processed.

COMMAND

DFSMShsm command logs are processed.

DFDSS

DFDSS message data sets are processed.

DFSMShsm source parameters also require the selection parameters that are shown in the following table to identify the range of data sets to be read. These parameters are not available for DFDSS processing.

Selection parameters

Selection parameter

Description

DATE=yyddd

Specifies an exact date in Julian format (yyddd)

All non-empty DFSMShsm logs for that day are processed. A specific date must be given; no masking characters are allowed. No comparison operators other than = (equals) are allowed. DATE or DAYS must be specified.

DAYS=nnn

Specifies a range of days

Up to 731 days can be specified. (However, no more than 255 input data sets are processed.) This value specifies the number of days (starting with the current day) for which log data sets are read; for example, DAYS=2 reads logs from today and yesterday. DAYS=0 is invalid. No masking characters are allowed. No comparison operators other than = (equals) are allowed. DATE or DAYS must be specified.

HOST=x

Specifies the host machine ID

Allowable characters are 0-9 and A-Z. No masking characters are allowed. No comparison operators other than = (equals) are allowed. This parameter is required for DFSMShsm requests (MIGRATION, BACKUP, COMMAND, DUMP); it is not necessary for DFDSS requests.

Warning

Example

The following examples show valid parameter specifications:


Parameter specifications

Description

 BACKUP DATE=98028 HOST=2

Process DFSMShsm backup logs that were generated on 1/28/98 for host machine 2.

MIGRATION
  DAYS=10 HOST=A

Process DFSMShsm migration logs that were generated during the past 10 days for host machine A.

DFDSS

Process all DFDSS message output that is contained in the data set or data sets on DD statement OPMIN.

COMMAND
  HOST= C
  DAYS=5

Process DFSMShsm command logs that were generated over the past 5 days for host machine C.

The parameters in the following table identify the type of output. At least one of these parameters must be specified for each output set request (BACKUP, MIGRATION, COMMAND, DUMP, DFDSS). No more than one of each output type (REPORT, ERROR, ACTION) can be specified for a single output set.

 Output parameters

Output Parameter

Description

REPORT

Specifies that selected messages are to be written to a report output member shRhhmm in opmhlq.OUTPUT.DFxxx.Dyyddd)

ERROR

Specifies that selected messages are to be written to an error output member shRhhmm in opmhlq.OUTPUT.DFxxx.Dyyddd)

Warning

Important

The difference between REPORT and ERROR depends on your specification.

ACTION

Specifies that selected messages are used as a source of data to be extracted and substituted into skeleton statements
