OPERLOG

The OPERLOG is a merged, sysplex-wide system message log. It is provided by a log stream, which is a collection of log data used by the MVS System Logger.

You protect the OPERLOG panel by controlling:

Access to the LOG command, which displays the log panel. This is explained in Authorized SDSF commands.
Authorization to the log stream used for OPERLOG. The system logger, rather than SDSF, issues a SAF call to ensure the authorization.

Parameters of the LOG command allow users to choose the SYSLOG rather than the OPERLOG. For information on protecting the SYSLOG, see SYSLOG.
