  • 1.  USS trigger not working

    Posted Sep 17, 2019 10:28 AM
    Good morning. 

    I have been trying to implement a USS trigger but it has not been working out well. Currently we have an application that creates log files in USS and I am trying to cut those to a GDG when they are created, but the trigger isn't kicking off my event.

    EVENT ID(DXRACF.RACFAGENT_LOG) OWNER(applicationId) SYSTEM(MASTER) -
    REPLACE
    COM *** ***
    COM *** COPY RACFAGENT.LOG ***
    COM *** ***
    SEND 'UNIX TRIGGER ON NEW FILE AT %ESPATIME ' USER(USERSYS)
    SEND 'PRODUCTION %SYSPLEX' USER(USERSYS)
    SUBMIT 'DXX.D940.ITIM.CNTL(AGENTLOG)'
    DSTRIG /apps/itimrw6/log/racfagent.log_0- USS

    I was under the assumption that - was a variable so it would grab logs as they were created. The original log file is racfagent.log, and when it fills up it copies the logs to racfagent.log_001. When it fills again it copies to racfagent.log_002
    I need to get these cut to a GDG, as once the logs hit 20, they roll and are overwritten.

    What can I do to ensure this triggers when the files are written to?

    Hi Frank,

    Wildcard for USS DSTRIG currently is not supported.

    Since the log file names are definite, you can add one DSTRIG for one log file, like:
    DSTRIG /apps/itimrw6/log/racfagent.log_001 USS
    DSTRIG /apps/itimrw6/log/racfagent.log_002 USS
    ....
    DSTRIG /apps/itimrw6/log/racfagent.log_020 USS

    If it's the first time you use USS DSTRIG, following FAQ may help:

    Please see if it works.
