You can run a batch job, such as DFHJUP, to read and process CICS® log data in MVS™ system logger log streams and in MVS SMF data sets.
You can:
These features are selected and controlled by a series of statements that allow you to define the input and output options, selection ranges, and various field and record selection criteria.
When reading log stream data, be careful not to discard records prematurely. Records returned to a user application program are considered to have been processed, and the appropriate log stream cursor (the browsed cursor, the deleted cursor, or the LASTRUN cursor) is updated. On subsequent runs, if you use cursor-related processing options, the records you processed previously are not read. Do not assume that records returned from DFHJUP or your own batch job will be seen again on a later run, as this might not be the case. Only discard such records if you are sure that you no longer need them on the log stream.
