If the MVS™ system logger address space has failed, it can be
restarted using the S IXGLOGRS command. Note the 'S' at the end--IXGLOGRS
restarts IXGLOGR as a system address space.
CAUTION:
If you forcibly cancel the MVS system logger address space (by issuing
a FORCE IXGLOGR,ARM command) and coupling facility structures used by the MVS system
logger (by issuing a SETXCF FORCE,CON,STRNAME=structname,CONNAME=ALL command), CICS® VR
sets the condition code to 3999 for this job step and no CICS VR VSAM
batch logging is performed. You must set up your batch jobs that start CICS VR
forward recovery logging so they detect 3999 condition codes and trigger a
backup of your VSAM spheres to ensure recoverability. See
Logging problem categories for
a DFSMShsm example
and a DFSMSdss example.
