Allocating BBI-SS journal log data sets

Use the following procedure to allocate BBI-SS journal log data sets.

BMC II for z/OS uses journal log data sets to record:

  • Product warnings and messages
  • Commands and responses

Note

  • A set of journal log data sets must be allocated for every BMC II for z/OS PAS.
  • Do not alter the log attributes; the default attributes are reset automatically if changed.
  • If you have more than one BMC II for z/OS PAS that uses the same JCL procedure, use system symbolics in the journal log data set names to ensure that each BMC II for z/OS PAS has a unique set of log data sets. All of the subsystems can then use the same PROC.

To allocate the BMC II for z/OS journal log data sets in BBSAMP member SSLOG

  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 DV parameter value to the volume serial (VOLSER) number of the allocation volume for the journal data sets.
    3. Set the DU parameter value to the allocation volume unit type.
  2. Submit the modified job.
