APPCHECK keyword

You can use the APPCHECK keyword on the REPORTS control statement to control production of the Application Checkpoint report.

Log Analyzer writes this report to the SYSOUT-type APPCHECK data set.

Note

Log Analyzer produces the Application Checkpoint report by using filtering techniques that are different from the techniques for producing most other reports. The FILTER control statement is invalid if you specify the APPCHECK keyword.

To produce the Application Checkpoint report, specify APPCHECK=ALL or APPCHECK=expressions as explained in this topic.

No default value is provided for the APPCHECK keyword. If you omit this keyword (but you specify the REPORTS control statement), Log Analyzer does not produce this report.

APPCHECK=ALL

To produce the Application Checkpoint report with default filters, specify APPCHECK=ALL. With this keyword, Log Analyzer includes all batch message processing (BMP) jobs that are found in the input logs, and does not filter the information by checkpoint frequency.

APPCHECK=expressions

To filter the Application Checkpoint report by job name, program specification block (PSB) name, checkpoint frequency, or any combination of these filters, specify APPCHECK=expressions.

The following syntax rules apply to these expressions:

  • An expression consists of a subkeyword, an operator, and a value (or values).

  • Enter at least one space between the subkeyword and the operator, and between the operator and the value.

  • In expressions that permit multiple values, use a comma (not a space) to separate values.

    If you use the = (equal to) operator in an expression that contains multiple values, Log Analyzer  processes the values with OR logic. (An item that matches any one of the specified values results in a match for the expression.)

    If you use the NOT= (not equal to) operator in an expression that contains multiple values, Log Analyzer  processes the values with AND logic. (Any item that matches every specified value results in a match for the expression.)

  • Some expressions support wildcard characters:

    • Specify an asterisk (*) to match any number of characters, starting from that position.

    • Specify a percent sign (%) to match a single character at that position.

  • Specify only one instance of each expression (as identified by the subkeyword). You can specify expressions in any order.

  • Use at least one space to separate an expression from the next expression. Log Analyzer  processes multiple expressions with AND logic. (Any item that matches every specified expression results in a match for the entire set of filters; the item is included in the report.)

  • You can enclose all expressions within a single set of optional parentheses.
