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:-)

Which brings up a question, which has something to do with
syslog/operlog.
Just curious as to which installations give full viewing of
syslog/operlog to *ALL* individuals?
