Example 3-10 shows how this policy is implemented through administrative
commands.

Recommended server settings
We recommend changing some of the default server settings.
The accounting server setting determines whether an accounting record is
created every time a client node session ends. The default is not to create these
records. We recommend that accounting be switched on to collect these records.
For z/OS systems, this information is recorded in the Systems Management
Facility (SMF). For other systems, this information is written to a file that contains
text records that can be viewed directly or can be imported into a spreadsheet
program.
All Tivoli Storage Manager server activity is recorded in an activity log. This log is
located in the Tivoli Storage Manager database and contains text messages.
The log is pruned automatically every night at midnight. The default retention
period for the log is only one day. This does not provide an adequate amount of
information for production systems. We recommend that you specify a value of
between 7 and 14 days.
The administrative commands to collect accounting information and keep server
activity log records for 10 days are shown in Example 3-11. We are using the
command-line interface (CLI) to enter these commands. See 10.2.3,
"Command-line interface" on page 320, for information about how to invoke this.
Example 3-11 Set accounting on
tsm: TSM>set accounting on
ANR2091I Accounting parameter set to ON.
tsm: TSM>set actlogretention 10
ANR2090I Activity log retention period set to 10 days.
