Printing LOGJRNL records

To create the started task procedure

1. Copy BBSAMP member PLOGJRNL to SYS1.PROCLIB to a JES PROCLIB data set and make the following changes to the JCL in the PROC statement:

   • change PLOGJRNL to a name you want to use for the procedure

   • change the PREFIX parameter to the high-level qualifier that you used to load the product to DASD.

2. Refer toTable 1 which describes the additional parameters you can use with the START PLOGJRNL command.

   Table 1. Valid parameters for the START command

   Parameter	Required	Specified as one of the following options	Description
   SSID=	no	a substitution value for the PROC statement directly in the PARM= value of the JCL step card as the first positional parameter; do not include the characters 'SSID='	specifies the SSID of the MV Logger SSID (if you do not want the default) to connect to. If no value is specified, the SSID of the default MainView Logger in the LPAR is used.
   STRT=	yes	a substitution value for the PROC statement directly in the PARM= value of the JCL step card as the second positional parameter; do not include the characters 'STRT='	specifies the time and date where the search begins This parameter is required and you must enclose the value in single quotation makes if it is passed to the PROC statement from a START command. You do not need to use single quotation marks if you specify the value with the PARM statement in the JCL. Valid formats are as follows: hh:mm:ss/yyyymmdd YESTERDAY When you are not using the value YESTERDAY, the value you specify must be 17 characters long; for example: 12:39:21/20111201 16:00:00/20110305 05:15:36/20111205 When you specify YESTERDAY for the STRT value, the system computes yesterday's date and creates a STRT value string in the form: '00:00:00/yesterday's date'. You can use this when you want to run the job daily and dump all of 'yesterday's' data using a DURA value of 1D.
   RECS=	no	a substitution value for the PROC statement directly in the PARM= value of the JCL step card as the third positional parameter (do not include the characters 'RECS=')	specifies the number of records to be printed Specify a numeric value between 1 to 7-numbers long between 1-9999999; for example: 100 10 50000 You must specify either the RECS= or the DURA= parameter. When you specify both RECS and DURA parameters, whichever criteria completes first will end the output. For example, if you specify RECS=100 and DURA=1D, either 100 records or 1 day of records will be output, whichever comes first.
   ORIG=	no	a substitution value for the PROC statement directly in the PARM= value of the JCL step card as the fourth positional parameter (do not include the characters 'ORIG=')	specifies an origin value that is used to filter the records Specify a 1-8 alphanumeric value. An asterisk (*) is supported as a wild card character; for example: AAODL71 AAODL* (any origin whose name begins with the characters AAODL)
   DURA=	no	a substitution value for the PROC statement directly in the PARM= value of the JCL step card as the fifth positional parameter (do not include the characters 'DURA=')	specifies a period of time for the records to be printed Specify 1 to 3-digit number followed by a alphabetic value that defines the unit of time; valid alphabetic values are as follows: M: minutes H: hours D: days For example: to print out 10 minutes of data beginning at the time specified by the STRT parameter, specify 10M to print out 1 day’s worth of data beginning at the time specified by the STRT parameter, specify 1D to output 8 hours of data beginning at the time specified by the STRT parameter, specify 8H You must specify either the RECS= or the DURA= parameter. When you specify both RECS and DURA parameters, whichever criteria completes first will end the output. For example, if you specify RECS=100 and DURA=1D, either 100 records or 1 day of records will be output, whichever comes first.
