EZLTLOG

Purpose

The EZLTLOG control file entry applies to base AON functions.

The EZLTLOG control file entries specify the commands that process AON automation logs when the logs become full. These entries allow the log switching and the jobs that copy the AON log to a history file to be tailored to the naming conventions of your installation. EZLTLOG is a required entry.

Syntax

EZLTLOG

{PRIMARY|SECONDARY|NONE}: Specifies whether this is the primary or secondary log. If NONE is specified, EZLTLOG is not initialized and no NLOG logging is performed. Specifying NONE might improve performance on some systems by reducing input and output. All records are filed in the NETLOG.
AUTOFLIP: Specifies whether the log is to switch automatically when it becomes full. The default is NO.
LIT: Specifies a literal string that is used in messages EZL307, EZL308, and EZL309. The messages are sent out as AON notifications when the log switch process is performed.
JOB: Specifies the job in PROCLIB to submit a job to archive the primary or secondary automation log.

Usage notes

The subsystem interface (SSI) must be running. Jobs EZLSJ007 and EZLSJ009 must also be in an active procedure library.
You can change jobs or member names that define logs. Primary and secondary entries are supplied.
The AON sample library contains the procedure and the IDCAMS control statements necessary to perform switch and offload. Jobs EZLSJ007 and EZLSJ009 copy the VSAM data sets into a sequential history log and clears the AON logs. When the logs are clear, the NetView® program can open the files as output data sets.

Examples

In the following text USER.PROCLIB is the partitioned data set where the job resides In this example, the primary and secondary logs are defined. The logs are automatically switched when they are full. The command SUBMIT USER.PROCLIB(EZLSJ007) is issued to process the primary log and SUBMIT USER.PROCLIB(EZLSJ009) is issued to process the secondary log:
```
EZLTLOG PRIMARY,JOB=USER.PROCLIB(EZLSJ007),AUTOFLIP=YES,
                LIT='AUTOMATION LOG'

EZLTLOG SECONDARY,JOB=USER.PROCLIB(EZLSJ009),AUTOFLIP=YES,
                LIT='AUTOMATION LOG'
```
In the following example, the primary and secondary logs are switched automatically when they become full. No job is designed to archive historical data in the history file.
```
EZLTLOG PRIMARY,AUTOFLIP=YES
EZLTLOG SECONDARY,AUTOFLIP=YES
```
