SDSF REXX for DFHSM

vasanthz · Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 7:16 pm

Hi,
I have a requirement to get DFHSM log messages from the DFHSM started task.

I am planning to use the below program to get the DFHSM log into a PS. Could you please let me know if there would be any impact to DFHSM when running this REXX. I could simply run it & try, but did not want to create issues to DFHSM.

Guess I am going to scream "YOLO..!!" and submit the thing xD

If the only interaction is to access a spool dataset, I don't see that direct impact on the package would be possible.

If it "goes nuts" and BFLs, such that it slows the entire machine/Universe, that's another thing...

Thank you Bill for the response. I am going to submit it in batch & cancel it if it appears to go haywire. Would post the outcome after testing.

If you're submitting it in batch, you can also put a TIME= with a very small amount on.

Thanks again Bill, I would later test the job with a CLASS which has Max-Time of 000005

When you say log messages what do you actually mean and what are you looking for? If there are ARCLOGX/Y and ARCPDOX/Y datasets in the DFHSM proc then you can process those with some of the IBM suppllied programs like ARCPRPDO and ARCPEDIT.
