Setting the Business Continuity Manager Log Output Destination

The system logger service provides MVS-standard log write, display, and delete functionality.
You can select whether to output Business Continuity Manager logs to an external dataset by using
the system logger service or to output them to a sequential dataset by not using the system logger
service.
The system logger service provides the MVS standard log writing, display and deletion functions.
The system logger service also offers the following features:
• Ability to use frameworks for log volume management (functions to automatically migrate log
data and allocate log datasets) and failure management (a log duplication function)
• Sysplex compatibility, allowing integration of Business Continuity Manager logs for primary
and secondary sites
• Ability for users to perform customization to take only the required information after collection
When the system logger service is used, all Business Continuity Manager log data collected by
the system logger service are output to an external dataset. For details on how to set this up, see
“System Logger Service Setup” (page 557).
For details on how to set up the system logger service, see the section that describes how to set
up the Business Continuity Manager environment variables in the HP StorageWorks P9000 for
Business Continuity Manager Software Installation Guide.
System Logger Service Setup
Before using the DASD-only log stream in Business Continuity Manager, the setup described in
MVS Setting Up a Sysplex must be done. For details about the DASD-only log stream, see the MVS
Programming: Assembler Services Guide.
If the system logger service is not set up, response messages of the system logger service might be
output on the console when performing CLI commands.
