Additional information about archiving and the NGL1

You can setup a procedure to automatically generate an archive of a log file, and setup a post processing job that is automatically submitted each time an archive procedure finishes.

The archives are automatically registered in the Archive Directory and can be used to create the batch reports described in the following books:

When enabled, the Data Collector initiates a procedure to create an archive of a log file, when any of the following conditions occur:

  • A log file is full
  • The SWITCH command is issued

To enable archiving:

  1. Set Enable Archiving to Y on the output group that you are interested in archiving.

  2. Copy the NGLARCH member from HLQ.LLQSAMP into your SYS1.PROCLIB (or equivalent) started task library.

    Important

    The default name for this process is NGLARCH. You can change the process name. For more details, see Renaming-the-NGLARCH-process1.

In addition, you can configure an archive post-processing job that is automatically submitted each time an archive procedure finishes. For more details, see Setting-up-an-archive-post-processing-job1.
