Allocating Alert Manager journal logs

Use the following procedure to allocate 

Alert Manager

 journal logs.

Alert Manager uses journal log data sets to record:

  • Product alerts, warnings, and messages
  • Commands and responses that the Alert Manager component issues

Tip

  • This task is optional for all BMC AMI Ops products.
  • If you want to use Alert Manager, this task is required. For information about Alarm Management and Alert Manager, see Using-Alarm-Management.

BBSAMP member SSLOG contains sample JCL to allocate Alert Manager journal log data sets.

Note

  • Member SSLOG contains sample JCL to allocate Alert Manager journal log data sets. A set of journal log data sets must be allocated for every Alert Manager PAS.
  • Do not alter the log attributes; the default attributes are reset automatically if you change them.
  • If you are using products on multiple systems and want to use the same JCL procedure for all of them, use the Alert Manager SSID in the data set name of the logs. All of the subsystems can then use the same PROC.

To allocate the Alert Manager journal log data sets

  1. In BBSAMP member SSLOG, make the following changes:
    1. Change the PREFIX parameter to the prefix that was used to load the product libraries to DASD.
    2. Set the SS parameter value to the subsystem ID of the Alert Manager PAS.
    3. Set the DV parameter value to the volume serial number of the allocation volume for the journal data sets.
    4. Set the DU parameter value to the allocation volume unit type.
  2. Submit the modified job.
