requests that recording of the specified record type or types be started. The
association to the recording function will remain until a cold start of the system
is performed.
OFF
requests that recording of the specified record type or types be stopped.
LIMIT nnn
specifies a decimal value, from 1 to 255, used as a threshold indicating when to
notify the system operator and the receiving virtual machine that uncollected
records are accumulating.
Uncollected records are records that have been created but not received by the
recording virtual machine. Whenever the number of uncollected records of the
specified type equals an integral multiple of LIMIT, the system operator and the
virtual machine user who normally receives the records are notified.
For example, suppose you specify LIMIT 4. The system operator and the virtual
machine user who normally receives the records are notified when four
uncollected records accumulate. Notifications are issued when the number of
uncollected records reaches 8, 12, 16, and so forth.
The default limit for ACCOUNT records is 20, for EREP records 2, for
SYMPTOM records 2, and for CONFIG records 255. Any LIMIT setting that you
indicate lasts until VM is restarted with COLD option.
