Issue/Introduction
To download the Rexx program used to display information for all MUFs running on an LPAR, please see Knowledge Base article 10380, titled "Single MUF LXX info from TSO using the SYSVIEW API", for more details.
Running a Datacom MUF, whether used for Datacom/DB with your own applications and databases, or with Datacom/AD in support of other Products, sometimes requires monitoring and attention to different system components. The LXX, or Logging Area may be used to retain transactional information about updates or other maintenance to the Datacom tables.
Clients have often requested a way to monitor the current utilization of the LXX to prevent any problems from the LXX filling. There are several ways to accomplish this, and this article discusses one method, using the SYSVIEW API from Rexx..
Resolution
Attached to this article is a sample Rexx program called SVLXXALL that will display the LXX usage for all running MUFs on this LPAR.
To use this program, you must be able to link to the SYSVIEW CNM4BLOD loadlib, as two modules are called from the Rexx program. Most clients will install the CNM4BLOD into the Linklist, so it will be readily available, or you will need to add the logic to be able to access this loadlib via the TSO STEPLIB (it also requires APF functionality).
In addition, the command to display the LXX information must be processed from a TSO session running on the LPAR where the MUF is running. This is a typical SYSVIEW requirement as well.
To run this program, you can copy the SVLXXALL program into a library allocated to your TSO SYSPROC or SYSEXEC DD statement, or you can use the TSO EXEC command with the explicit file name of the Rexx program.
The syntax of the command is
TSO SVLXXALL
or
TSO EXEC 'the filename of the program(SVLXXALL)'
The output is via Rexx SAY commands. For example, you might receive something like this:
