Using the NEWSTREAMNAME parameter on the IXGINVNT REQUEST=UPDATE request, you can rename a log stream dynamically. Because many logging programs use a fixed log stream name, this function can be very useful for log stream recovery. For example, if a log stream fails the system may not be able to perform any logging for the log stream that has failed. Using the log stream rename function, you can rename the failing log stream, and then use the IXGINVNT REQUEST=DEFINE to define a new one log stream with the old name in order to start logging again.
You must have an active primary TYPE=LOGR couple data formatted at an HBB7705 level or higher in order to specify the NEWSTREAMNAME parameter.
