Entire Operations logs all important system events. You can view logs specific to an owner, network or job and specify selection criteria for the log report to be produced.
You can also use the monitoring function to observe all activities currently running in your Entire Operations environment.
The default system log displays information about activities in the
system as a whole such as user actions, date and time of events and messages
about events. If more information is available for any item on the system log,
it is preceded by an asterisk (*). Log information at the job
level can be any of the following:
JCL log
Displays the JCL of a specific job run;
SYSOUT log
Displays the SYSOUT of a specific job run;
System message log
Displays all operating system messages about jobs. The system log
displays the first of these messages. You can select a job from the system log
to display all system messages for that job.
A selection window asks you to select the default log according to owner, network, job and run number.

Activity monitoring is a non-conversational display of Entire Operations events on a special terminal, for example in the computer center. Activity monitoring can be started on this terminal and can be controlled from any other terminal.
Activity monitoring is used to permanently display Entire Operations events that currently occur in your Entire Operations environment.
The following applies to the monitoring feature:
The activity monitoring facility receives its data from the Entire Operations log file.
The activity monitoring facility only displays the most important messages. Error messages and other very important messages appear highlighted.
The default setting displays events starting from the current time minus one hour. As the display is updated, it scrolls automatically. The start time and display refresh interval can be modified via the Control of Activity Monitoring option of the Special Functions system administration services described in the Administration documentation.
This section covers the following topics:
To start activity monitoring and display activities
At a Natural command prompt, enter the following command and press ENTER:
LOGON library-name
where library-name is
usually the SYSEOR system library.
When you are logged on to the specified library, enter the following at the command prompt:
ACTIVITY
Or:
In an Entire Operations command line, enter the following direct
command and press ENTER:
