The PowerExchange Logger identifier that is specified in the LOGGER_NAME parameter in the EDMUPARM module options. PowerExchange uses this value to locate the PowerExchange Logger options in the EDMUPARM module.

Optional. The option for running the PowerExchange Logger in batch mode to perform maintenance activities. Use this option only when you update the EDMUPARM module options or define or delete logs from the ERDS.

Optional. For Post-Log Merge configurations, this value overrides the system SMF ID value that PowerExchange appends to the PowerExchange Logger ID to form the XCF group name.

Each PowerExchange Logger XCF group name must be unique within the sysplex.

By default, the PowerExchange Logger uses the SMF ID on the z/OS system where it runs. If this SMF ID value is not unique within the Post-Log Merge group, you can use this parameter to provide a unique SMF ID value.

The following example shows an EXEC card that uses a symbolic parameter, &SMFID, to override the system SMF ID:

An

smf_id

value must be 1 - 4 alphanumeric characters in length.

Optional. By default, the PowerExchange Logger issues warning message PWXEDM172600W at various times when the Logger's high-used RBA exceeds x'F00000000000'. The message helps you to better plan for a reset of the PowerExchange Logger. If you want to use a different RBA value to be warned sooner, specify this

rba_warn

parameter with a value that consists of the first 8 digits of the Logger RBA at which you want warnings to commence.

The following example shows an EXEC card that includes an

rba_warn

parameter value that causes the Logger to generate PWXEDM172600W messages when the Logger's high-used RBA exceeds x'EFF000000000':

An

rba_warn

value consists of 8 hexidecimal digits.
