Automation Log Screen

The Automation Log screen displays the stream of messages and commands captured by Control-O, as well as Control-O internal messages and traces of rules executing with MODE set to LOG.

In a Sysplex environment, this screen can also be used to view the MVS Operlog.

The messages are displayed together with all the additional information which is relevant to the automation process

Selection criteria for display can be specified either in the Show Option window, which is described in Show Option Window, or with special commands such as ALL or TRACE. Either the current Automation Log or a backup Automation Log can be displayed.

To request the Automation Log facility, select OL (Control-O Automation Log) in the IOA Primary Option menu.

Up and down scrolling conventions are supported on the Automation Log screen.

To return to the IOA Primary Option menu, press PF03/PF15 (END).
