Automatic log of log scan schedule

You can control the Automatic log of log scan schedule by specifying the parameter values for the Run control time interval and the Run control start time using the CICS® VR Automatic log of log scan schedule window. The specified parameter values are used to control the log of log scan runs for the next time the CICS® VR server address space is started.

The CICS® VR server address space schedules the log of log scan runs starting with start time, if the start time is not a blank character string and it is greater than the current time when the CICS® VR server address space is started. The log of log scan then runs periodically once in each time interval. Otherwise, it starts with the next time interval after the CICS® VR server address space is started and then again periodically once in each time interval.

Automatic log of log scan

The installation default settings for the time interval parameter and the start time parameter respectively is a value of 24 and a blank character string. The default setting means that the log of log scan runs once a day starting on the next day after the CICS® VR server address space is started.

A CICS VR default value of LOLSCAN is NO means that the CICS VR server will not schedule any runs of the log of log scan.

Note: CICS VR runs log of log scan based on the LOLSCAN value.
