1.7 Q: What Are the Type, Size (or Retention Period), and Generations Held for each Log File Output by Systemwalker Operation Manager?

Applicable versions and levels

Log file types and content

In Systemwalker Operation Manager, the following log files are output:

Log files that are output by default	Log files that are not output by default
Jobscheduler logs Job execution history logs Audit logs	Operation record information logs

Each file is explained below.

Jobscheduler log file

Log type	Contains the job net and job execution history (start time, end time, and completion code).
Log storage location	Under the Jobscheduler database directories given below, depending on the operating system used: Windows: <Systemwalker Operation Manager installation directory>\MpWalker.JM\mpjobsch\jobdb Linux: /var/opt/FJSVJOBSC Solaris: /var/opt/FJSVJOBSC HP-UX: /opt/FHPJOBSCH/db AIX: /usr/FAIXJOBSC/db Note: In case of multi-subsystems, the logs are stored under the JOBDBn directory. [n: Subsystem number. A number from 1 to 9 is used.]
File name	jobdb1.log/jobdb2.log/jobdb3.log
Log file size or retention period	1 to 99 MB (default: 3 MB) Note: You can set this value by opening the Define Jobscheduler Startup Parameters window, clicking the Database tab, and then selecting a value for Log file size.
Number of files for cyclic use	3 (jobdb1.log, jobdb2.log, and jobdb3.log) This number cannot be changed. The log files are rotated cyclically according to the file size, as in jobdb1.log -> jobdb2.log -> jobdb3.log -> jobdb1.log. They are not retained based on the number of days.

Job execution history information log [V5.1 and V5.0L10 or later]

Log type	Contains the date and time at which each job was submitted, started, completed, and deleted, and the completion code of the job. The log files contain binary attributes, so they cannot be referenced directly. Use the mjsview command to reference the log files.
Log storage location	By default, this log is stored under the following directory: [Windows versions] <Systemwalker Operation Manager installation directory>\MpWalker.JM\mpmjessv\hist [UNIX versions] /var/spool/mjes/hist Note: This can be changed in the Logging sheet of the Define Operating Information window. Note: In case of multi-subsystems, the log of subsystem 0 is stored under the above-mentioned directory, while the logs of other subsystems from 1 to 9 are stored under the directory with the corresponding subsystem number n.
File name	yyyymmdd.log (<date when the log file was created>.log)
File format	This contains binary attributes, therefore the file cannot be referenced directly. Use the mjsview command to reference the file.
Log file size or retention period	1 to 31 days (default: 7 days) Note: You can set this value by opening the Define Operating Information window, clicking the Logging tab, and then selecting a retention value.
Number of files for cyclic use	Files older than the specified number of days are deleted.

Operation record information log (When configured in "Systemwalker Operation Manager Environment Setup" >> "Operation information" window)

Log type	Operation information for executed jobs and job nets is stored in CSV format.
Log storage location	No default Note: You can set this value by opening the Define Operating Information window, clicking the Logging tab, and then selecting a retention value. Note: In case of multi-subsystems, the log of subsystem 0 is stored under the configured directory, while the logs of other subsystems from 1 to 9 are stored under the directory with the corresponding subsystem number n.
File name	<yyyymmdd>.csv (<date when the operation record information file was created>.csv)
File format	CSV format
Log file size or retention period	1 to 31 days Note: You can set this value by opening the Define Operating Information window, clicking the Logging tab, and then selecting a retention value.
Number of files for cyclic use	Files older than the specified number of days are deleted.

Audit log

Log type	Record information for operations from the Systemwalker Operation Manager client
Log storage location	The default directory is the following: [Windows] <Systemwalker installation directory>\MpWalker.JM\mpcmtool\audit [UNIX] /var/opt/FJSVftlo/audit Note: This can be changed using the mpsetlogsend_omgr command.
File name	mp_omgr_audit<YYMMDD>.log (YYMMDD is the date when the operation was recorded)
File format	Text (CSV) format
Log file size or retention period	[V13.8.0 or earlier] 1 - 99 days or "unlimit" (the default is 31 days) [V17.0.0 or later] 1 - 999 days or "unlimit" (the default is 31 days) Note: This can be configured using the mpsetlogsend_omgr command.
Handling when the retention period is exceeded	Files that have exceeded the specified number of days are deleted. However, they are not deleted if "unlimit" has been specified.
