HISTORY_DATASET - UAG configuration option

Description

This optional parameter specifies the name of the z/OS Job History dataset. If specified, execution history for jobs executed by UAG and/or externally tracked jobs will be stored in this dataset. (See: ZOS_EXT_JOB on how to configure external job tracking.) If ,EXTONLY is appended to the value for this parameter, only external jobs will be tracked.

The UNVIN12 installation job is provided to allocate and initialize this dataset before use. Please review the comments in that job for sizing information and recommendations. In a Sysplex environment, all agents sharing the same system ID should share the same history dataset.
