Customization Best Practices › Move or Reallocate the Log Files

Move or Reallocate the Log Files

Shut down CA7ONL before running the log dump jobs.

The primary log file is pointed to by the UCC7LOG DD in the CA7ONL procedure and in the initialization file on the ALOG1 statement. The secondary log file is named on the ALOG2 statement and can be pointed to by the UCC7LOGS DD statement. These two files must reside on the same volume. As a best practice, when moving these files, shut down CA7ONL and then run the log dump jobs. When the log dump jobs are complete, you can then reallocate the log files and can perform an ERST type start of CA7ONL.

Business Value:

This best practice results in less down time when reallocating files.
