HP XP P9000 Smart Manager for Mainframe User Guide (TB589-96001, July 2013)

The maximum length of a record that can be output is 8,192 bytes. Log data longer than 8,192 bytes

will be divided before being output. The maximum block length is 32,760 bytes.

TIP:

To merge event log data activated by multiple OSs in a sysplex environment, output the log for each

OS from the log stream to a dataset, transfer files to a PC, and then sort the files in chronological

order.

Outputting logs by using the event log data output tool

From the event log output by the system logger service to the data stream, you can output the required

log data to a dataset by using the event log data output tool (KTLOGCP).

1. Determine the conditions for event log data to be output (start time, end time, and job name).

2. Create a control statement for KTLOGCP.

The following shows the format of the SYSIN dataset for specifying a control statement.

• Dataset format: Sequential dataset in the fixed-length record format

• Record length: 80 bytes

• Block length: Any value (multiple of 80)

3. Create a JCL for KTLOGCP.

Use the following example to create a JCL for KTLOGCP.

//YUKON01 JOB

// EXEC PGM=KTLOGCP

//OUTLOG DD DSN=YUKON.LOG.DATA,DISP=(NEW,KEEP),

// RECFM=VB,LRECL=8192,BLKSIZE=32760,

// SPACE=(CYL,(100,10)),VOL=SER=WKVL01,UNIT=DASD

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A

//SYSIN DD *

RANGE STARTTIME(2013/03/24,00:00:00) ENDTIME(2013/03/24,23:59:59)

SELECT COND(JOBNAME,EQ,'USER01T')

SELECT COND(JOBNAME,EQ,'USER01')

4. Execute KTLOGCP.
