Viewing current operational events: log display
MainView AutoOPERATOR uses the BBI Journal log to record the following:
- MVS, IMS, CICS, and NetView commands issued from MainView AutoOPERATOR
- responses to MVS, IMS, CICS, and NetView commands issued from MainView AutoOPERATOR
- all messages handled by a Rule that specifies JRNL=Y
- BBI operation messages
- all BBI-TS user commands
The MainView Common Customization Guide describes Journal logging.
When MainView AutoOPERATOR messages are written to the MVS console, the BBI-SS PAS ID is appended whenever possible. The BBI-SS PAS Address Space ID is not recorded in the Journal log.
Log Display provides a real-time picture of all current operational events. In the BBI Log Display, you can split the screen to view the BBI-SS PAS Journal log on one side and the SYSTEM STATUS application on the other so you can see current exceptions and actual commands and responses at the same time.
Option L, Log Display, displays the Journal log belonging to the
- BBI-SS PAS monitoring the target identified in the TGT field
- BBI-SS PAS identified by BBI-SS PASS ID in the TGT field
- BBI-TS, if LOCAL is specified in the TGT field
The identifier in the TGT field can be changed to point to any valid MVS, IMS, or CICS job name or step name, any valid BBI-SS PAS ID, or to LOCAL. Ask your MainView AutoOPERATOR administrator for a list of valid BBI-SS PAS IDs.
In addition to the standard primary commands, the primary commands listed below are valid for Log Display.
