Staging Data Set Names

You can define staging data set names for DASD only and Coupling Facility based log streams. The resulting data set names for both DASD only and Coupling Facility based log streams:

Coupling Facility

To form the staging data set name for a Coupling Facility based log stream, the MVS System Logger concatenates the EHLQ, the log stream name, and the MVS system name derived from the IEASYSxx PARMLIB member, in that order.

If the system name begins with a decimal digit, that portion of the data set name qualifier is the string STG plus the last five significant characters of the system name.

DASD Only

To form the staging data set name for a DASD only log stream, the MVS System Logger concatenates the EHLQ, the log stream name, and the sysplex name derived from the COUPLExx PARMLIB member, in that order.

If the sysplex name begins with a decimal digit, that portion of the data set name qualifier is the string STG plus the last five significant characters of the sysplex name.
