Parameter specifications for DFSMShsm output management
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. |
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) |
ACTION | Specifies that selected messages are used as a source of data to be extracted and substituted into skeleton statements |
