Issue/Introduction

Is there a "Best Practice" or a "Common Practice" on the management of the CA-7 Browse dataset?

Are most customers capturing their Browse data in some way? 

 

Environment

Release : 11.3, 12.0, 12.1

Component : CA-7

Resolution

The browse data set is a wrap-a-round file that does not need to be backed up or manage. All the information in the browse data set is also in the LOGP and LOGS files. These 2 files are dumped to an archive file when they fill up. You can run the SASSHIS8 Report-08 against the log archive to recreate the browse file from a specified date/time. So therefore you do not need to manage or browse.
