Space announcement We are no longer updating this version of the documentation for the infrastructure components (DBC, LGC, and NGL).  You can no longer leave comments on it. For the latest version of the documentation, see Common Mainframe Infrastructure 2022 release.

Reporting logset information

You can execute a REXX Exec to display the time span of data of each log file in a specific output group.

The syntax is:

NGLBATCH dbc-id ngl-id command logset_name

In this syntax:

  • dbc-id is the DBC subsystem ID
  • ngl-id is the piid of the NGL agent
  • command can be LIST LOGSET or STATUS LOGSET

  • logset_name follows the template of thedbc-id, followed by the letter L followed by the output group number

    For example: thelogset_name of Data Collector DC01 and output group 001 is DC01L001 .

Example

The following example issues a LIST LOGSET command for logset DC01 to DBC server DBCC and NGL PIID NGL1.

NGLBATCH DC01 NGL1 LIST LOGSET DC01L001

A REXX EXEC and the JCL to execute it are contained in the SAMP library (XXSAMP or NGLSAMP) in members NGLBATCH and NGLBCMD respectively.

Sample JCL to execute REXX Exec

//NGLBATCH JOB ....                                              
//TSOB    EXEC   PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=10                     
//SYSPRINT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSTERM    DD  SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSTSPRT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                     
//STEPLIB    DD  DSN=your.loadlib,DISP=SHR      DBC/NGL loadlib           
//SYSPROC    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=your.NGL.SAMP     NGL SAMP library                        
//SYSTSIN DD  *                                               
  %NGLBATCH  DC01 NGL1 LIST LOGSET DC01L001                

READY                                                                                
  %NGLBATCH  DC01 NGL1 LIST LOGSET DC01L001

 

In this syntax:

  • DC01 is the DBC subsystem ID
  • NGL1 is the NGL piid
  • DC01L001 is the DBC subsystem ID (DC01) and 001 is the logset number.
