John, I don't know if you are familiar to using OPERLOG. If not, I should suggest you ought to. I personally feel my life got better when we got rid of SYSLOG. In case you are, please take a look at CBT file #513, there you will find a set of tools to take advantage of OPERLOG. In few words, we use a schema of 10 days of log data online, and 45 days in migrated data sets. To exploit the data, you will find the tools to explote data by a lot of search criteria (date, sysname, task name, tso user name, character string, etc.) I hope it will help you. Regards, Jose Maria
