I presume your colleagues are using SDSF to peruse OPERLIB. Have
they tried to FILTER for just the system of interest?

We run both SYSLOG and OPERLOG. We archive both in daily GDGs in the

almost exclusively, but in practice, during 20 years of parallel
sysplex, I have had to deal with very few cross-member problems.
Some of my colleagues are annoyed by 'extraneous' messages from
other sysplex members. So each to his/her own.
I concur with the time-frame advantages of OPERLOG, but we have
occasionally had logger problems that break it. SYSLOG is a backup
in those rare instances.

We do this for the most part. We do run IEAMDBLD to offload daily
syslog to GDG for audit/diagnostic purposes. We do keep 1 days
worth of syslog on spool however, because we have many users that
use ROSCOE to view syslog. I don't believe it knows anything about
OPERLOG. We also have a home grown program to sift through the
daily GDG's a limit output based on system ID, date/time windows, etc.

Subject: OPERLOG vs SYSLOG
We are considering inactivating SYSLOG and just running with
OPERLOG. For our long-term archiving, we are considering using a
tweaked version of SYS1.SAMPLIB(IEAMDBLG) to produce daily/weekly
extracts in an extended SYSLOG format.
Has anyone done this and what were your experiences with that environment.
Thanks.
