Configuring the System Load application group

The system load logging facility is comprised of the System Load application group, a set of system load applications, and the System Load folder. The System Load application group contains the storage management information that Content Manager OnDemand uses to maintain the data written to the system load logging facility. When you initialize the system, the application group is not assigned to a migration policy and storage set. Because the application group is not assigned to a storage set, the system does not migrate a copy of the system load data to archive media.

Before you begin defining reports to Content Manager OnDemand, loading data on the system, or allowing users to access the system, you should configure the System Load application group to maintain a permanent copy of the data that is written to the system load logging facility. You can do this by first defining a migration policy (and its corresponding storage set) that specifies archive storage media such as a disk pool, optical, or tape, and then by updating the System Load application group and assigning it to the storage set.

No matter where you decide to keep your System Load data, it is important to note that searching the System Load folder is the most direct way to locate the Load ID for archived data. Every time data is loaded into Content Manager OnDemand, a record is written to the System Load logging facility and the Load ID is recorded as part of that record. The Load ID (also called "Report ID") is a required parameter for the Remove Report (RMVRPTOND) and Print Report (PRTRPTOND) commands.
