We do exactly as Linda has described, except we keep the SYSLOG for a month...
We execute three SAR tasks, one for SYSLOG output, one for production JOB
sysout, and one for sysprog stuff that never goes away, and we collect all the
output from our DR Exercises and port to home where staff may view at leisure...
--------------- Sysout Archive and Retrieval System ----------------
OPTION ===>
CA-VIEW
N SARSPOOL - Production JOB SYSOUT - 105 Day Retention
P SAR D/R - Sysout from DRExercise April, 2009
M SAR D/R - Sysout from DRExercise October, 2009
S SAR D/R - Sysout from DRExercise October, 2010
D SARSYS - SYSLOG Output, System Maintenance - 42 Day Retention
O SARzOS - z/OS System Development (V1R7,V1R9)
Enter END command to exit.
SAR, now CA-View, has worked very well with effectively no people time
requirement...

Years ago, we brought in SAR (now CA-View) to hold customer batch report output
for viewing . So, we issue the W L command every midnight by auto command and
have View pick it up. We keep a little over 3 years of SYSLOG available, most
of that on (virtual) tape. It has worked very well for us.

Subject: SYSLOG saving
In my previous shop we used a product called $AVRS to retain SYSLOG for an
extended period of time. I assume other shops do the same. I need it in a
readable format with as much information as possible.
If you save SYSLOG at your shop, how do you do it?
