Documentation
Definition
The Error log retention time controls the residence time of the RAL error log messages, the warnings and the messages.
Use
The registration of a record in the RAL error log considers the current value of the retention value and adds an timestamp to the record which is considered by the program responsible for the deletion of the error log. The value of the retention parameter is interpreted as the residence in days.
Dependencies
The records within the RAL Error log are not automatically deleted. The deletion is a process which is started by the system administration when using the data archiving object SRAL_ELOG by using the write program of the archiving object. If the input parameter "Consider retention period only" is set to 'X', the program reads all records which have been recorded before the current start date and time and puts this records into the archive file. The deletion program of the archiving object afterwards deletes the entries from the data base table.
Example
The value of the residence in days must be greater than zero. The maximum value is 999. The value recommend is 10 which is the standard value.
