SUMMARY keyword

You can use the SUMMARY keyword (or the SUMM abbreviation) on the REPORTS control statement to control production of the Analysis Summary report.

Log Analyzer writes this report to the SYSOUT-type SUMMARY data set.

If you omit the REPORTS control statement and the EXTRACT control statement, Log Analyzer produces the Analysis Summary report by default.

Tip

When you approach a new problem to diagnose by using Log Analyzer, you might want to start by obtaining the Analysis Summary report only (without other reports, an extract data set, or an index data set). Log Analyzer can produce the Analysis Summary report quickly, with relatively low resource consumption, to let you know whether relevant records have been selected and whether the volume of data is small enough for interactive or manual analysis. If not, you can adjust control statement specifications and rerun the analysis job. When the Analysis Summary report shows the desired results, you can run the analysis job a final time to produce other reports and data sets.

BMC recommends that you do not limit the size of the Analysis Summary report.

Specify one of the following values:

  • ALL or 999999999

    Do not limit the number of records that are written to the output data set.

  • nnnnnnnnn

    Limit the number of output records to the specified number.

No default value is provided. If you omit this keyword (but you specify the REPORTS control statement with other keywords), Log Analyzer does not produce this report.
