SCS Address Space Message Log (SCSLOG)

The SCS address space message log (SCSLOG) is a detailed log of all messages that the SCS address space writes.

SCS address space messages that are written to the z/OS hardcopy message log are also written to the SCSLOG. In addition, the SCSLOG is used for messages that are more detail-oriented and that can be useful when diagnosing problems. The SCSLOG is therefore a more complete record of the activities of the SCS address space.

The SCSLOG is implemented using the z/OS UNIX System Services (USS) syslog daemon. The syslog daemon is part of the z/OS system product. The syslog daemon must be explicitly started using the USS syslogd command.

Note: For more information about the syslog daemon, see the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide and the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
