Return Code 60 - DB CANNOT OPEN THE LOG AREA

Reason:

The request to open a User Requirements Table was aborted because the Log Area control record indicates that the Log Area is not ready for use. Either the Log Area is not initialized or the last user of the Log Area did not go to successful job end.

Action:

If the Log Area was not initialized, initialize it by executing the INIT AREA=LXX function of DBUTLTY. Otherwise, see the following internal return codes for details.

MUFPLEX CHANGE WITH OPEN LOG

The Log Area (LXX) has been
found open during the restart
process of a Multi-User Facility
enable in a different mode than is requested by the current start
options. Specifically, either the log
is open as part of a MUFPLEX and MUFPLEX is not now selected, or
the log is open not as part of a MUFPLEX and MUFPLEX is not selected.

You must change the MUFPLEX MUF startup option to the same as the log and enable the Multi-User Facility that way. As soon as the Multi-User Facility is enabled and any required transaction backouts complete, an EOJ can be done on the Multi-User and the Multi-User Facility enabled in the desired mode.

INVALID MIX OF DBUTLTY FUNCTIONS WITH INIT
AREA=LXX

The Log Area (LXX) is being
requested to be initialized, but a previous DBUTLTY function has
caused it to be open.

Run the INIT in a step by itself or at least without any preceding function that causes the log to be opened (such as a report against the log).

FORCE AREA (FXX) FULL

The Force Area (FXX) is being
used to force an active request
based upon the LOGSPILL MUF
startup option. Insufficient space
in the area exists.

At the next opportunity, the Multi-User Facility needs to be ended and the FXX initialized with a larger number of tracks.

TASK LENGTH TOO SMALL FOR LOG BLOCK

When using inactive recovery, the
MUF startup option TASKS size
must be as large as the Log Area
block size.

Either increase the MUF startup option TASKS size value or reduce the Log Area block size by using the DBUTLTY INIT AREA=LXX function.

LXX BLOCKSIZE LESS THAN

You are attempting to initialize the
Log Area to a block size less than 8192.

Change your specification to 8192 or larger.
