This subsection describes how to prevent the event log from becoming full when the system logger service is used.
If a log dataset is full, execution of MAR programs will continue, but event logs will no longer be output. Use either of the following management methods to prevent the log dataset from becoming full.
-
Automatically delete event logs (specify the AUTODELETE(YES) parameter when defining the log stream).
-
Periodically delete and re-define the log stream.
Use the IXCMIAPU utility with the DELETE LOGSTREAM NAME(log_stream_name) parameter specified to delete the log stream. The log dataset is deleted when the log stream is deleted. For details, see the IBM manual MVS Setting Up a Sysplex.
