Updating the CFRM policy

Why and when to perform this task

As stated in the BBOSSINS instructions generated by the ISPF Customization Dialog, you must "Update the CFRM Policy ... prior to using log streams that have been indicated as CF-resident." These log streams include the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS error log and RRS logs. Here is a step-by-step process for updating the CFRM policy.

Steps for this task

  1. Find the active policy by issuing the command D XCF,POL.
    You will get output similar to this partial example:
    -D XCF,POL 
    IXC364I 10.57.49 DISPLAY XCF 061 
    TYPE: ARM 
    POLICY NOT STARTED 
    TYPE: CFRM 
    POLNAME: POLCF1N1 
    STARTED: 03/14/2003 11:32:22 
    LAST UPDATED: 03/14/2003 11:31:52 
    . . .

    Note: Do not make any changes to the active policy--you will create a new one later.

  2. List the existing CFRM policies with the following utility:
    //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IXCMIAPU 
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
    //SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=* 
    //SYSIN DD * DATA TYPE(CFRM) REPORT(YES) 
    /*
  3. Modify the SYSPRINT from the previous job, which currently lists all the policies and has embedded page headings, so you can use it to define a new policy in the next job.
    Follow these steps to gain a usable SYSPRINT:
    1. Extract the definitions for the ACTIVE policy only.
    2. Delete the heading lines.
    3. Add the new structure definition using the BBOWCFRM member of the target CNTL data set as a model.
    4. Copy the new structure definition into a FB-LRECL(80) data set that you will use as SYSIN for the following job.
  4. Create or update the new policy.
    Use a utility such as the following:
    //STEP20 EXEC PGM=IXCMIAPU 
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
    //SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=* 
    //SYSIN DD *
    DATA TYPE(CFRM) REPORT(YES)
    DEFINE POLICY NAME(NEWPOLC) REPLACE(YES)
    CF NAME(CF1LPAR) DUMPSPACE(5000) PARTITION(0E) CPCID(00)
    TYPE(009672) MFG(IBM) PLANT(02) SEQUENCE(000000051205)
    CF NAME(CF2LPAR) DUMPSPACE(5000) PARTITION(0F) CPCID(00)
    TYPE(009672) MFG(IBM) PLANT(02) SEQUENCE(000000051205)
    STRUCTURE NAME(CTS130_DFHLOG) SIZE(24000) INITSIZE(12000)
    REBUILDPERCENT(15) PREFLIST(CF1LPAR, CF2LPAR)
    . . .
    <== Insert your new structure here
    
    Where "NEWPOLC" is the name of the new policy.
  5. Switch CFRM to the new policy.
    Use a command such as the following:
    SETXCF START,POLICY,TYPE=CFRM,POLNAME=NEWPOLC
