Hi,

Quote:
CA-VIEW is a facility that archives and retrieves computer output. Any SYSOUT can be specified for archiving. CA-VIEW is especially well-suited to management of the following classes of data:

1. Production JCL listing and messages
2. Production reports
3. Syslog data

Production reports can be automatically archived and printed. Should a report get lost or need to be reprinted, the retrieval system reprints it from archival, eliminating the need for reruns. Large reports can be archived directly to tape to minimize disk requirements. When a job, or time-sharing session has output queued for processing any output meeting the archival criteria is written to the current disk generation(or tape, if specified).

Using CA-VIEW, production JCL listings and messages can be automatically archived and kept for a specific amount of time. You can retrieve SYSOUT easily from an online terminal using the online retrieval facility. CA-VIEW allows the client to select a SYSOUT group for browsing or printing then scroll through the SYSOUTS using the CA-VIEW Browse facility. SYSOUT indexing and logical view features, allow the client to automatically display only a portion of a SYSOUT that you need.

CA-VIEW uses a special capture class to bring SYSOUTS in for archival. Ex. PRINTER1 DD SYSOUT=V (will send the output from this DD to the CA-VIEW database for archival).

Doesn't sound like something you would want anyone just starting and stopping!
