The +JOURNAL parameter controls the creation of the journal file associated with BMC AMI Utilities processing.
Important
The journal contains trace messages for the exclusive use of BMC Customer Support. Many of these messages are intentionally not documented. This does not indicate a problem with the software or the documentation.

The values are defined as follows:
| (default) No journal prints. |
---|
| Journal prints to JRNLOUT DD. You may define this DD to SYSOUT or to a static data set. If you use a static data set, you must - Specify the DCB with the following attributes: RECFM=FBA, LRECL=133.
- Set the BLKSIZE to 0 so that the system sets a default value based on the DASD type.
|
---|
| If an error occurs, and the product is left in a restartable state, send journal output to the JRNLOUT DD. |
