IXG217E
IXGLOGR ATTEMPT TO ALLOCATE A NEW STAGING DATASET FAILED FOR LOGSTREAM logstream. alloctext DSN=datasetname  voltext   volume

Explanation

An attempt by IXGLOGR to allocate a new instance of a staging data set for log stream logstream failed. If you found an old instance of the staging data set and could not delete or reallocate it, a problem might exist on the volume specified in the message. ON VOLUME xxxxxx included in the message indicates the volume on which the staging data set resides. If ON VOLUME ?????? is included in the message, you could not obtain the duplicate staging data set volume from the catalog.

In the message text:
logstream
is the name of the log stream.
alloctext
One of the following:
blanks
Unable to allocate a New Staging data set.
DUPLICATE NAME FOUND
Unable to allocate a new staging data set. A duplicate data set could not be allocated for the purpose of deleting it. This might be because the volume is not available.
datasetname
is the data set name.
voltext
One of the following:
blanks
A volume serial is not available.
ON VOLUME
A volume serial is available.
volume
is the volume name or ??????.

System action

System logger will not be able to use the staging data set. The impact depends on the function requesting the staging data set.

When Connect is requested, IXGCONN is rejected with Return Code 8-80C. Message IXG231I may also be issued.

When system logger encounters an I/O or access error with a staging data set, and a new staging data set 12 cannot be obtained, then for a CF-based log stream local buffers will be used to duplex the log stream data. Message IXG255I may also be issued. For a DASDONLY log stream, the log stream will be disconnected. An ENF48 signal will be issued with event indicator IxgenfLogstreamsNotAvailable, event reason IxgenfReqLogResNotAvail, and specific reason IxgenfStgAllocErr set on. Message IXG216I may also be issued. When a rebuild fails and system logger is unable to resume using the original structure, then an attempt will be made to ensure the log data is duplexed in staging data sets to minimize the potential for a loss of data condition. When a new staging data set cannot be allocated to keep the duplexed data, then the likelihood for a loss of data condition remains. Message IXG232I may also be issued. When a rebuild completes and the duplexmode is set to conditional, system logger may attempt to duplex to a staging data set versus using local buffers. If the staging data set cannot be obtained, then local buffers will continue to be used. Message IXG113I may also be issued. Other System logger messages may be issued for this log stream or staging data set. Other components may have issued diagnostic messages as well.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Check for I/O error messages and allocation error messages and correct the problem. After the problem has been resolved, it may be necessary to cause the application to reconnect to the log stream.
