Creating MainView Logger BBPARM member LOGGERxx

Use the following procedure to define the initialization parameters in BBPARM member LOGGERxx for the MainView Logger agent.

You will use BBSAMP member NGLOGGER to create initialization parameters for the primary logspace. As you modify the PARMLIB member, keep the following considerations in mind:

• By default, MainView Logger reads member LOGGERxx from the BBPARM data set specified with the PARMDSN parameter in BBPARM member MVINGIxx. However, if the SYSP=(xx[,yy,zz...]) parameter in BBPARM member MVINGIxx specifies more than one suffix (you can specify up to 10 suffixes), multiple LOGGERxx members can be read.
• MainView Logger performs syntax checking, starting with the group of parameters that follows MVSSYSTEM=sysname (where sysname equals the current system name in CVTSNAME). Syntax checking stops with the next MVSSYSTEM parameter or the end of the member.
• The LOGGERxx member supports the substitution of system variables.

To create a BBPARM LOGGERxx member

1. Copy BBSAMP member NGLOGGER to your UBBPARM data set.This data set is the one you specified with the PARMDSN parameter in BBPARM member MVINGIxx.

2. Specify the following required parameters.

   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. If you specify the system variable &SYSNAME, a single set of parameter statements can be used to start MainView Logger on multiple system images.
   LOGPREFIX=dsnPrefix	Identifies the data set prefix for the allocated log data sets
   ARCHIVE=YES/NO	Enables (YES) or disables (NO) the archiving of NGL logs for this LOGGERxx member. If no value is defined, the default is YES.
