Automation Log

Automation information is stored in the Automation Log, which is accessed through Option OL in the IOA Primary Option menu.

The Automation Log facility accumulates and displays automation information from all input available to Control-O, including console, IMS, CICS messages, Control-O events, Control-O internal messages, application internal logs, and rule traces.

Comprehensive SHOW selection criteria allow the user to query the log for analysis and statistical purposes. This analysis and statistical information is especially useful when planning, implementing and checking console automation.

Users may also choose to switch between viewing the current log, archived logs, or logs of other systems within a shared DASD environment, without interfering with the ongoing accumulation and display of messages within any of these logs.

In a Sysplex environment, viewing of the OPERLOG can be synchronized with the viewing of the Automation Log.
