Controlling Logger operation
You might need to modify the operation of the
MainView Logger
logspace while it is running.
For example, you can query the NGL agent to view a list of active logsets. Or you might need to start or stop the NGL agent. You can also use a MODIFY command for the DBC to control the MainView Logger logspace within the address space without having to restart the DBC, NGL or MainView Logger agents. For more information, see Common mainframe infrastructure.
Use the following commands to control the MainView Logger logspace where the dbcssid represents the subsystem identifier (SSID) of the DBC:
Function | Command |
|---|---|
To start the DBC subsystem as a z/OS started task | START dbcssid |
To stop the DBC subsystem | Use one of the following IBM z/OS commands:
|
To stop the MainView Logger agent in the DBC | dbcssid MVL,STOP You can also use the MVS modi(F)y command: F dbcssid MVL,STOP |
To re-start an MainView Logger agent that has been previously stopped | dbcssid MVL,START You can also use the MVS modi(F)y command: F dbcssid MVL,START |
To display the defined logset characteristics to NGL | dbcssid NGL,CMD,piid DISPLAY LOGSET logsetName |
To list the logset that is currently in use by the NGL MainView Logger Agent | Use the NGL command: dbcssid NGL,CMD,piid LIST LOGSET [logsetName] You can also use the MVS modi(F)y command: F dbcssid NGL,CMD,piid LIST LOGSET [logsetName] The value of the piid is the name of the NGL instance and the logsetName value is optional. If you do not specify a logset name, all of the logsets are listed. |
To display insert and retrieval statistics for a logset | dbcssid NGL,CMD,piid STATUS LOGSET logsetName |
