How to disable Delivers DIRECT ARCHIVE function to specific View databases

Products

• OM Deliver
• OM View

Issue/Introduction

We need to disable the direct-to-view feature for some of these CA-View instances.

What is the recommended approach?  Do we just remove the associated ARCHnn statement, or change it to something else?

Environment

z/OS,  View, Deliver, disable, prevent, direct, archive, function, archnn, archnn=, parameter, rmoparm

Resolution

Both REMOVAL of the associated ARCHnn statement as well as CHANGING them are both valid options.

1. You can simply REMOVE the desired ARCHnn statement from the associated Deliver RMOPARM member and recycle the RMOSTC.

-or-

2. You can update the desired ARCHnn statements in the Deliver RMOPARM member and specify a value of ZERO in the CLASS field of the ARCHnn statement, then recycle the RMOSTC.

 

Example:

Change - ARCH08=DIRECT/your.view.dbhlq

To - ARCH08=0

Additional Information

Additional information regarding the Deliver ARCHnn parameters can be found HERE in the Deliver 14.0 documentation. Where, amongst other details, you will see the following information:

ARCH - The default archive criteria to be used by reports that are to be archived to OM View when no archive criteria value is specified in the ARCH field on the Report Definition Attributes panel.

NOTE - Specifying 0 indicates that, by default, reports are not to be archived to the OM View database.
