Modifying Logging Configurations
Entering the LOG Configurator
the KEEP command:
sysgen>KEEP
newgroupname
Refer to Chapter 4 , “Using the System Generator (SYSGEN),” for additional information
on using the KEEP command.
Entering an MPE Command from the LOG Configurator
Use the colon (:) to introduce an MPE command from the LOG configurator. To issue an
MPE command, enter the command along with the colon. For example,
log>:SHOWTIME
THU, APR 20, 1989, 2:55PM
log>
Exiting the LOG Configurator
Use the EXIT command to terminate the LOG configurator and return to the SYSGEN
global module. Exit may be abbreviated EX or E. To end working in the LOG configurator,
enter EXIT at the LOG configurator prompt:
log>EXIT
sysgen>
Printing a Log File
To analyze your logs and to read what you are logging, you must print your log files. To do
this, use the LOGTOOL utility program. Enter RUN LOGTOOL.
In order to print a log, issue the following:
1. RUN LOGTOOL
2. LOGTOOL>LIST LOG=
log# OUTFILE=LP
3. LOGTOOL>EXIT
Enter HELP after the LOGTOOL prompt for more information. The STATUS command reports
on the status of all system log files.
The following example shows the use of the STATUS command in the sequence of printing a
log.
RUN LOGTOOL
LOGTOOL>status
LOGTOOL>list log=0027 outfile=LP
If you do not specify the
OUTFILE parameter, the log prints on your terminal screen.
Typically this report is very long and ties up your terminal for quite some time. If this does
happen, you can enter
CTRL Y to break the process.
