OPSLOG ARCHIVETRIGGER NOT REFRESHED

Products

• OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Issue/Introduction

After having dynamically changed the value of the OPSLOG archival parameter  ARCHIVETRIGGER  to 100000 the automatic archives are still triggering using the previous value of 500000.

Environment

OPSLOG archive is the CA OPS/MVS facility for automating the archival of OPSLOG data.

OPSLOG archive lets you schedule the routine archiving of OPSLOG data by adjusting parameters. Once these parameters have been set, CA OPS/MVS automatically archives OPSLOG entries at intervals that the parameter settings determine. Automatic archival requires no further work by the systems manager or operators.

You can schedule the OPSLOG archive to perform the archive routine through the ARCHIVETRIGGER parameter with the following triggers:

• A specific time of day
• The accumulation of a specific number of messages

Resolution

To make changes to the ARCHIVETRIGGER parameter effective without recycling the OPSMAIN started task it is necessary to restart the OPSLOG archival task with the command below:

F OPSS,RESTART(ARCH)
