Field

Description

Sort by

You can choose to sort the list of archive logs by start time, by cylinders per hour in descending order (largest to smallest), or by cylinders per hour in ascending order (smallest to largest).

Average cyls per hour

Displays the average number of cylinders per hour for all of the logs in the list.

Number of days covered

Displays the number of days covered by all of the logs in the list, that is, from the start time of the first log to the end time of the last log.

Start time

Displays the start time for each archive log, in the format yyyy-mm-dd wkd hh:nn:ss, where:

  • yyyy is the 4-digit year
  • mm is the month of the year
  • dd is the day of the month
  • wkd is the 3-character abbreviation of the day of the week
  • hh is hour of the day in military format
  • nn is minutes
  • ss is seconds

End time

Displays the end time for each archive log in the same format as Start time.

Cyls

Displays the number of cylinders that this log would occupy if on DASD.

cyl/hr

Displays the logging rate in cylinders per hour for each archive log.

Audit synchronization

You can verify the existence of an archive copy 1 data set for each archive copy 2 data set in the BSDS. To access this information, select the Audit sync. option from the Archive Log Information panel. You receive one of the following results:

  • If the copies are synchronized, a message is displayed at the top of the panel. This means that there is an ARCHLOG1 data set that matches each ARCHLOG2 data set found in the BSDS.
  • If the copies are not synchronized, one or more messages are displayed listing each ARCHLOG2 data set for which there is no matching ARCHLOG1 data set.
