Example of Using TP Message Log Parameters

To use a cumulative log for all messages with a limit of 10,000 messages, code the values for the highlighted parameters as shown in the following examples of a TP profile and an ASCHPMxx parmlib member.

Figure 1. TP Profile Parameters

          TPNAME(RUN_TEST)
          USERID(IBMUSER)
          ACTIVE(YES)
          TPSCHED_DELIMITER(##)
             TAILOR_SYSOUT(YES)
             TAILOR_ACCOUNT(YES)
             CLASS(A)
             TPSCHED_TYPE(STANDARD)
             JCL_DELIMITER(END_OF_JCL)
     //TEST1    JOB  ,IBMUSER
     //STEP     EXEC PGM=TESTRUN
     END_OF_JCL
       KEEP_MESSAGE_LOG(ALWAYS)
       MESSAGE_DATA_SET(TEST1.TESTLOG)
       DATASET_STATUS(MOD)
     ##

Figure 2. ASCHPMxx Parameters

  CLASSADD
    CLASSNAME(A),
    MAX(10),
    MIN(2),
    RESPGOAL(.01),
    MSGLIMIT(10000)

  TPDEFAULT
    REGION(256),
    TIME(1,30),
    MSGLEVEL(1,1),
    OUTCLASS(J)

This example is for a test TP that creates a TP message log that contains all runtime messages. After a TP is successfully tested, an installation might change the KEEP_MESSAGE_LOG value to ERROR or NEVER to enhance TP runtime performance. Writing messages to the TP message log will affect CPU time and the response time of the TP.
