Run the showlog script.
showlog.bat
showlog.sh
showlog
![[z/OS]](../../ngzos.gif)
Use the following
format:
showlog.sh {-start startDateTime [-end endDateTime] | -interval interval}
[-format CBE-XML-1.0.1] [-encoding encoding] logStreamName
[outputFilename
where:
- -start
- Specifies the start date and time, in yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ format.
Milliseconds and time zone are optional.
- -end
- Specifies the end date and time, in yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ format.
Milliseconds and time zone are optional.
- -interval
- Specifies the start date as the system date and time minus interval milliseconds,
and end date as the system date and time. Valid values are integers greater
than 0.
- -format
- Specifies the output format. Currently only CBE-XML-1.0.1 format is supported
(this complies with the Common Base Event specification version 1.0.1). If
no format is given, showlog outputs in a tabular format.
- -encoding
- Specifies the output file encoding, a character encoding supported by
the local Java Virtual Machine .
- logStreamName
- Is a log file name.
- outputFilename
- Is optional. If no file name is given, the showlog script creates a default showlog.out filename, outputFilename is
created in the current directory unless it is a fully qualified file name.
The
formatted contents of the service log are always written to a file. There
are parameters to showlog.sh which control content and encoding of the output.
Enter showlog.sh without parameters for parameter usage information.
The showlog script
can return informational messages containing service names, return codes,
and reason codes. For more information about using the z/OS log stream, or
to look up service names, return codes, and reason codes, refer to z/OS MVS
Authorized Assembler Services Reference ENF-IXG(SA22-7610). Return and reason
codes are listed for each service.
Refer
to the topic "Authorization for System Logger Application Programs" in z/OS
MVS Assembler Services Guide (SA22-7605) for advice on permitting access
to the log stream.
