Re: extract syslog data

2017-06-21 Thread Jesse 1 Robinson 
I've used FILTER for years for panels like job display. I had no idea it worked 
for operlog. The entire mainframe staff here is blown away. Thanks!

One other option.

In SDSF is the FILTER function on the top menu.  If you have specific messages 
or jobs or other you want rather than all lines in a particular time frame, you 
can use that to cut down on the amount of data.

All is detailed in the TOC for SDSF.  I find that when I am in a specific 
function in SDSF, if I enter an INVALID command, then use the HELP Key (PF1) I 
will be presented with the functions available for that panel.  That way I do 
not need to know what they are and easier to find the details.

Lizette,
It is in JES2. I was able to print the selected time period using the PRINT to 
dataset option which allowed me to then FTP the log to IBM support.
Thank you for responding. 

regards, Bill J.

Basically, if it is in a seq file, you can use any tool you like to copy the

you want to copy.

In ISPF EDIT that is a RELATIVE LINE NUMBER on the VIEW or EDIT Panel

Everything is pretty much dependent on where your SYSLOG is and whether or not 
you need to create your own process.

Use a function you are familiar.

Where is your syslog located?

If still in JES2 Spool, and you have SDSF, then the PRINT command in SDSF will 
work.  This can print to a file or you can print to your TSO Session, the use 
XDC to print to a dataset of your choice



If it is in an external dataset, you have the following options (no particular 
order)

   REXX
   DFSORT
   SAS
   COBOL
   ISPF EDIT (if the file is not very large)
   PL/1
   SAS
   IDCAMS
   Also check the cbttape.org and see if there are any tools there you might use

Basically, if it is in a seq file, you can use any tool you like to copy the 
data.  You just need to know the first line you want to copy to the last line 
you want to copy.

In ISPF EDIT that is a RELATIVE LINE NUMBER on the VIEW or EDIT Panel

Everything is pretty much dependent on where your SYSLOG is and whether or not 
you need to create your own process.

Thank you for the response. Yes, the SDSF print function works very nice. It 
prvides a panel where you can enter a date and time rangeperfect!

If your SYSLOG for a specific date/time is still kept in JES SPOOL, you can use 
SDSF Print function.

SDSF Print function is very handy, no need to cut/copy/paste. Just open the 
function, select your start/end lines, print and then print close.

Do you have any Spool grabber utility? Something like BMC Control-D or such 
product?
