ARSSUPPORT utility - and how to run in batch on z/OS

[Ed_Arnold]

Ref:   http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.administeringmp.doc/mustgather.htm?lang=en

"You can use ARSSUPPORT, a Java™ based tool to gather diagnostic information such as log entries. This tool is especially helpful when you need to report problems to IBM® service.
The ARSSUPPORT utility is delivered in the arssupport.jar file."

Here's an example of how I run it in batch on z/OS:


//STEP1   EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M                                 
//STDPARM DD *                                                       
SH                                                                   
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lpp/java/J7.0_64;                               
export PATH=/bin:/usr/lpp/ars/V9R0M0/bin:/usr/lpp/java/J7.0_64/bin;   
java -jar /usr/lpp/ars/V9R0M0/jars/arssupport.jar -o /ars/modwekcache
-z /usr/lpp/ars/V9R0M0/                                               
-l -u user33 -p mypwyeah -I ARCH900 -m 6000 -v;                       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
