Closes the current NM log file and creates and opens a new one.

Syntax

   SWITCHNMLOG  [UPDATE    ]

                [filenumber]

Use

SWITCHNMLOG can be issued from a session, a job, a program, or in break. Pressing BREAK has no effect on this command.

Parameters

UPDATE

Updates logging configuration for all subsystems. If you change the logging configuration using NMMGR, you can update the configuration without stopping the transport or links by issuing the SWITCHNMLOG command with the UPDATE option.

filenumber

Closes the current NMLG file and opens a new file with the specified number. The number can be any number from 0 to 9999.

Description

SWITCHNMLOG closes the current NM log file (NMLGnnnn.PUB.SYS) and creates and opens a new one. When this command is issued, NMS displays this message:

   NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn IS mm% FULL

   NMLG FILE NUMBER pppp ON

where nnnn is the number of the current NM log file that was just closed, mm is the percentage of file space used by the file, and pppp is the newly opened file, numbered one more than the closed file's number (nnnn).

If an irrecoverable error has disabled NM logging, this message is displayed instead of the command's normal display:

   NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn ERROR #nn. 

   NM LOGGING STOPPED.  (NMCNERR 36)

You will have to do a warm or cool start to bring the system back up.

If NM logging is enabled but currently suspended because of a recoverable error, an explanatory message is displayed after the command's normal display:

   NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn IS mm% FULL

   NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn ERROR #nn. NM LOGGING SUSPENDED.  (NMCNERR 38)

Once the error is corrected, you can issue the RESUMENMLOG command (described earlier in this chapter).
