Starting Operation Log Output system

To output the Operation Log, you must start the Operation Log Acknowledge job in advance.

The Operation Log Acknowledge job starts only if the System Environment Settings file (HULENV) is recognized. The job does not start if a parameter error occurred at startup.

At the time of startup, some parameters are handed over from resident jobs to the jobs to start. For details, refer to the explanation on the start and end procedures in Administration Manual.

For the System Environment Settings file, refer to Administration Manual.

Note

  • To output all log records of the Operation Logs, start the Operation Log Acknowledge job first, before you start the Send Acknowledge job, the Receive Acknowledge job, and the Observe job.

  • To output the Operation Log, you must create the output library in advance. For details, refer to the explanation of the Operation Log in Administration Manual.

  • Set the CCSID (Coded Character Set Identifier) to "65535" when you start the Operation Log Acknowledge job. If you do not set the CCSID to "65535", communication with the Send Acknowledge job or the Receive Acknowledge job as well as the access to the management information may not be carried out properly.

  • If you set the JOBMSGQFL (Job message queue full action) to "*NOWRAP", HULFT resident jobs may not work in some cases when the Job message queue becomes full.
