Certain commands that successfully alter IMS resources are written to the system log as X'02' or X'22' log records and are reprocessed during emergency restart. IMS classic commands that are recovered during emergency restart write an X'02' log record. IMSplex commands that are recovered during emergency restart write an X'22' log record. Table 3 lists the commands, along with the exceptions, that are recovered during emergency restart.
Restriction: If an IMS outage (abend, modify, or cancel of IMS) occurs immediately after a command is entered, the command status might not be carried across an emergency restart or XRF takeover.
The command log records are logged asynchronously (no check write or wait write). If there is no other IMS activity that forces the log buffer to be written to the OLDS or WADS data set, the status set by the command, for restart purposes, did not occur.
There are many events in IMS where log records are check-written to the log. Any one of these events subsequent to the command causes the command log record to be written to the OLDS or WADS data set.
