Format of definition card

Input contents of definition card

a. Service name

This parameter defines the service name for the log records that you want to delete (Optional).

For details, refer to the explanation of the Observe definition settings in Administration Manual.

Defaulting this parameter sets all service names as deletion targets.

b. Date

This parameter defines 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 either of the following formats:

  • YMD=date1

  • YMD=date1-date2

When you use the format 'YMD=date1-date2,' date1 must be earlier than date2.

When you define this parameter with 'YMD=date1,' the program deletes the records of the Observe Log for date1.

For the format 'YMD=date1-date2,' the program deletes the records of the Observe Log from date1 to date2. The range of the deletion target includes the defined dates of 'date1' and 'date2.'

Defaulting this parameter sets all Observe Log records for the service name that you define as deletion targets.

c. Number of days for which the latest records are not deleted

This parameter is defined to delete the records of the Observe Log except for the latest log records for the defined number of days up to the current date. (Optional)

Specify a value from '1' to '366' for this parameter.

d. Deletion of the Observe Log records that were stored the previous week

This parameter is defined to delete old records of the Observe Log that were stored the previous week up to Saturday. (Optional)

The program deletes old records of the Observe Log including the records that were stored on the previous Saturday.

e. Deletion of the Observe Log records that were stored the previous month

This parameter is defined to delete old records of the Observe Log that were stored on or before the last day of the previous month. (Optional)

The program deletes old records of the Observe Log including the records that were stored on the last day of the previous month.
