Deletion of Observe Log records
You can delete Observe Log records on the Request Status Confirmation screen.
Enter the following command for the COMMAND on the Request Status Confirmation screen and press the Enter key.
Format of command
a b c DEL S=XXXXXXXX [,D=date1 [-date2] ][,H=XXXXXXXX...XXX]
a b c DEL S=XXXXXXXX [,YMD=date1 [-date2] ][,H=XXXXXXXX...XXX]
-
The command is comma-delimited free-column format.
-
When you use HULFT10 for zOS, it is recommended that you use the command format of 'D=.'
Input contents of command
- a. Service name
-
This parameter specifies the service name for the Observe Log records that you want to delete. (Mandatory)
- b. Date
-
This parameter specifies the date for the Observe Log records that you want to delete. (Optional) Specify an 8-byte numeric string for each date of this parameter.
Specify the date in the format that you defined for the Date Format (DATEFMT) in the System Environment Settings.
Specify the date in one of the following formats:
-
D=date1
-
D=date1-date2
-
YMD=date1
-
YMD=date1-date2
When you specify this parameter with 'D=date1-date2' or 'YMD=date1-date2,' the dates must satisfy the condition date1<date2.
When you specify this parameter with 'D=date1' or 'YMD=date1,' HULFT deletes log records for date1.
When you specify this parameter with 'D=date1-date2' or 'YMD=date1-date2,' HULFT deletes log records from date1 to date2. The range of deletion targets includes the specified dates of 'date1' and 'date2.'
Defaulting this parameter deletes all Observe Log records for the service name and the host name that you specify.
-
- c. Host name
-
This parameter specifies the host name for the Observe Log records that you want to delete. (Optional)
Specify alphanumeric characters for this parameter that starts with an uppercase alphabetic character.
Defaulting this parameter deletes Observe Log records for the service name and the date that you specify.
NoteYou can specify an alphanumeric string within 35 bytes for the host name.
To delete log records with a host name that is longer than 35 bytes, use either of the following methods:
-
Deletion by executing the Observe Log List Display program (XRREQLST)
=> Refer to Deletion of Observe Log records.
-
Deletion by using HULFT Manager
-
Defaulting both the date and the host name deletes all Observe Log records for the service name that you specify.
