Capturing job log files on AIX

[MMoormann]

We have some distributed batch processes running on AIX.  Job log files are created and we would like to capture these job logs into OnDemand.  I'm sure we can do this with the Generic indexer, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether there was another way to do this?  On the mainframe side there is the ARSYSPIN task, which is used to capture JES Spool Data.  New to the multiplatform side of OnDemand and just wondering if there is something similar for Multiplatform Server.

Thanks.

If your index information is in a reliable (aka fixed/permanent) location inside the output you're loading into CMOD, you could build a series of Applications with their own ACIF index parameters to capture that index info.

There is a huge perk to using the generic indexer though -- you can concatenate an entire day's worth of job logs into a single generic index file, and you would reduce overhead for the loads, and improve compression performance.

+ if you got the information (date, name of the job,...) it would be easier to write an generic indexer file and you can include new reports faster. IMHO Others may think different.

Thank you both for your comments.
