Setting up a product-specific logspace

Each logspace requires its own BBPARM member LOGGERxx. A started task procedure is required on each system image where product-specific logspaces are used.

To create a BBPARM LOGGERxx member

1. Copy BBSAMP member NGLOGGER to your UBBPARM data set.This data set is the one that you will identify on the BBIPARM DD statement in the Logger started task procedure.
2. Rename member NGLOGGER to LOGGERxx, where xx is a two-character suffix that is unique to this logspace.During initialization, BMC AMI Ops Infrastructure processing reads the LOGGERxx member specified from one of the following locations:
   • The value from the PARMSDSN= parameter in BBPARM member MVINGIxx

   • The value(s) within the <PARM> and </PARMS> tags located in the BBPARM member MVIAGNT

     The LOGS= keyword is located within the <PARM> and </PARMS> tags, which defines a partitioned data set that contains BBPARM member MVINGIxx (and possibly LOGGERxx) members. Be sure to review the settings in BBPARM member MVIAGNT.

3. Update the parameters in the LOGGERxx member.

   Note

   You should not change the order of the parameters as they appear in the distributed NGLOGGER member.

   The following parameters require user-defined values:

   Parameter	Description
   MVSSYSTEM=sysName	Identifies the system to which the parameters in this member apply The sysname variable must match the current system name in CVTSNAME.
   LOGPREFIX=dsnPrefix	Identifies the data set prefix for the allocated log data sets
   LOGSSID=ssid	Specifies the one- to four-character subsystem ID that is to be used by the started task procedure
   LOGSPACE=xxxxxxxx	Specifies a three- to eight-character name for the logspace to which this LOGGERxx member applies

   The following parameter is set to the recommended value for a product-specific logspace:

   Parameter	Description
   LOGCYLINDERS=nn	Specifies the size of the allocated log file data sets The maximum value of 150 cylinders for a product-specific logspace is recommended for optimum logspace performance. Valid values per logspace are 5 to 150 cylinders.
