LOGREC

A software record (LOGREC) is logged to SYS1.LOGREC when a BBI abend occurs, if conditions permit.

Although this method is a shorthand method of recording abends, it contains the location of the error, abend code, and registers. Often this information is enough to solve the problem. All LOGRECs written by BBI are identified with BBI so they can be selectively viewed.

To print BBI LOGRECs, run the job in BBSAMP member LOGRECS. The JCL stream is set up to print only LOGRECs produced by BBI. This job only reads; it does not reset the SYS1.LOGREC data set, so it does not interfere with any data center procedures. However, if you regularly clean out this data set, schedule your job to run before the clean up occurs (preferably in the same job stream).

If you own BMC AMI Ops SYSPROG Services, you can also browse these LOGRECs online. The command format is

SOF,BBI,MAP

You can also use SYSPROG Services to check for the presence of BBI LOGRECs before running the batch job to print them.
