This panel is used to define a System Logger to CICS PA. The
definition includes:
- ID of the System Logger
- ID of the MVS™ Image the System Logger services
- Description of the Logger
- Files used by the Logger
- Groups the Logger belongs to
Scroll Right (F11) to switch between Files and Groups. Files is the initial view. However, for each system, CICS PA remembers its last view and returns there next time.
The System Logger details are:
- Logger
- The name of the System Logger. This is not a formal MVS or CICS® definition but any name you choose to identify the System Logger for your CICS systems. The name contains up to eight alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters. You can also specify a pattern using the % and * masking characters.
- MVS Image
- The SMF identifier of the MVS system where the System Logger runs. An Image ID is up to eight alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters.
- Description
- Description is free-format text up to 36 characters to describe the system. This is for your reference only, although CICS PA will insert it as a comment in your Report Set JCL.
The primary commands are the same as on the CICS System panel. See CICS System (APPLID) definition.
The lists of related Files and Groups work the same here as on the CICS System panel. See Files the System uses for the Files and Groups the System belongs to for the Groups.
