The BCM Web API outputs log data to two BCM Web API log record datasets.

Estimating the log datasets

Secure log datasets that meet the following criteria:

  • The capacity is arbitrary, but estimate the amount of log data based on how often API requests will be issued. For details about the amount of log data, see Required disk space and memory for BCM Web API logs.
  • For the datasets, specify only the amount to be initially allocated.

Log dataset format

The log dataset format is as follows:

  • DSORG: PS
  • RECFM: VB
  • LRECL: 32756
  • BLKSIZE: 32760

Log dataset names

For the datasets, use the following names, where BCM-Web-API-log-dataset-prefix is the value specified for the APILOGPREFIX parameter of the default parameter dataset.

  • BCM-Web-API-log-dataset-prefix.LOG1
  • BCM-Web-API-log-dataset-prefix.LOG2

Log dataset permissions

For the log datasets, grant the WRITE permission or a higher permission level to users of the TSO/E address space that starts the BCM Web API server.

Cataloging of the log datasets

Catalog the log datasets.
