Proof of Concept - Archiving the z/OS SYSLOG With ARSYSPIN

[Ed_Arnold]

On my z/OS sandbox system I wanted to prove that I could archive the z/OS console log into CMOD with ARSYSPIN.

Here's the started proc JCL:

//IEFPROC EXEC PGM=ARSYSPIN,REGION=0M                     
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ARS.ARSV850.SARSLOAD           
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ACIF.V4R3M0.SAPKMOD1           
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DB2VA10.SDSNEXIT           
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DB2VA10.SDSNLOAD           
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DB2VA10.SDSNLOD2           
//ARSBIN   DD PATH='/usr/lpp/ars/V8R5M0/bin'               
//DSNAOINI DD PATH='/usr/lpp/ars/V8R5M0/config/cli.ini'   
//SYSIN DD DUMMY,DCB=(LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80,RECFM=FB)       
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                       
//CEEDUMP DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//ARSYLIST DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//*RSYPARM DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USER.PRIVATE.PARMLIB(ARSYP850) 
//ARSYPARM DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USER.PRIVATE.PARMLIB(CONSLOGA) 


Here's the contents of ARSYPARM:


applgroup="MVSSYSLOG-AG"   
* appl="NODXANSI2"           
*selform=(NODX2)             
*reportid=NODX2             
outsep=no                   
jesclass=L                 
capdskeep=no               
jobbreak=yes               
maxsfc=1                   
maxdorm=10                 
*temppath=/u/odadmin         
temppath=/ars/codwekcache   
tempunit=vio               
odhost=zos1.arnold.ibm.com
odinstance=arch850         
oduser=odadmin               
oduserpw=password    

At midnight every night a "W L" is issued.  This is the only output written to class L. 

ARSYSPIN then reads this in and archives it, just as expected.

Side note:  /ars/codewekcache is a TFS, works just great

Oops - can't upload a .zip file so I renamed it to .txt.   Rename it back to .zip and then unzip.

Had a query about this topic, tried to download the attached file, nothing worked.

Reinvented the wheel, try this:

Temp.zip.   It's a zip file of a local server which has the defs.

Hey Ed.  I just enabled the upload of .zip files.  You can edit your post and try again.  :)
