Details

ZOSWtoAppender is a logging facility appender that supports event logging on z/OS operating systems. ZOSWtoAppender enables you to direct SAS application messages, such as automation messages in the Admin message category, to the operating system consoles. ZOSWtoAppender uses the z/OS write-to-operator (WTO) service macro to direct the messages to the consoles. The appender also enables SAS servers to send messages about the status of applications to z/OS for automation purposes.

The “routecode”, “desccode”, and “mcsflag” parameters can be included multiple times in your XML file. For example, you can have multiple “routecode” parameters if you want to specify more than one routing code.

Example

The following example initiates ZOSWtoAppender; specifies a conversion pattern; specifies the name of the logger; and specifies values for the “routecode”, “desccode”, and “mcsflag” parameters.
