Hi,
While there are some advantages to OPERLOG I don't see IBM getting rid
of SYSLOG support anytime soon. We use $AVRS to archive SYSLOG and also
have OPS/MVS OPSLOG for recent past debugging and research. OPSLOG is
very powerful with the ability to examine any system in the Sysplex
remotely and apply filtering to what you are looking at. OPERLOG would
not buy us much we don't already have and would be another change at a
time when we are struggling to manage the changes we HAVE to make before
the end of the year, before we get R6 installed, before we get the next
CEC installed, etc.
I think if I did not have OPSLOG I would probably be more interested in
activating OPERLOG for use in problem determination. Consolidated logs
without filtering would not be much help since the message volume on
some LPARs is already too much to see anything meaningful in without a
good front end like OPSLOG Browse. I don't think IOF or SDSF provide
useful filtering. Getting insight on problems by reviewing message logs
from large z/OS systems is like drinking from a fire hose:-)

Subject: Re: Dynamic change LOGCLS from IEASYSXX?
Only as a suggestion...... why not moving to logger/operlog and
get rid off syslog?
It was introduced ten years ago and in any moment IBM could
force us to change.
If you want, take a look at 513 CBT file.
