IGW855I
TRANSACTIONAL VSAM FAILED TO {CONNECT | WRITE} TO THE LOG OF LOGS {logstream. | logstream WHILE PROCESSING DSN dsn, FORWARD RECOVERY LOG STREAM frlogstream} RETURN CODE rc REASON CODE rsnc

Explanation

A failure occurred in trying to connect or write to the log of logs. A failure to update the log of logs might prevent automated forward recovery routines that utilize the log of logs from running.

In the message text:
logstream
The name of the log of logs.
dsn
The name of the data set that is associated with the attempt to write to the log of logs.
frlogstream
The name of the forward recovery log stream that is associated with the data set.
rc
The return code from DFSMStvs.
rsnc
The reason code from DFSMStvs.

System action

None

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Check the log for any previous IGW8xxI messages or associated system logger messages. If your forward recovery procedures do not require the use of a log of logs during forward recovery or can tolerate missing data in the log of logs, the message is informational. To correct the condition, either change the log-of-logs name that is specified in the IGDSMSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB and restart DFSMStvs, or use the return and reason codes that are provided to investigate and correct the problem. To reconnect to the log of logs, use the VARY SMS command to quiesce or disable and then reenable the log of logs.

For descriptions of return and reason codes, see z/OS® DFSMStvs Administration Guide. For descriptions of system logger return and reason codes, see z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Reference ABE-HSP and z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Reference IAR-XCT.

If your forward recovery procedures cannot tolerate missing data in the log of logs, follow these steps:
  1. Use the SET SMS command to quiesce DFSMStvs.
  2. Identify all data sets that have updated their associated forward recovery logs since the last backup.
  3. Create new data set backups.
  4. Reinitialize the forward recovery logs.
  5. Initialize the existing log of logs or a new logs of logs,
  6. Reenable DFSMStvs.
