IXG301I
SYSTEM LOGGER FAILED TO OFFLOAD DATA FOR LOG STREAM logstream IN STRUCTURE strname. RETURN CODE:retcode REASON CODE:rsncode DIAG1:diag1 DIAG2:diag2 DIAG3:diag3 DIAG4:diag4

Explanation

The system detected a failure during a process to offload data from interim storage (coupling facility for a coupling facility log stream, local storage buffers for a DASD-only log stream) to DASD log data sets for the specified log stream.

In the message text:
logstream
is the name of the log stream.
strname
For a coupling facility log stream, the name of the structure associated with the log stream.
For a non-coupling facility based log stream, the strname will be:

*NOT APPLICABLE*

retcode
The return code from the failing service.
rsncode
The reason code from the failing service.
diag1, diag2, diag3, diag4
Diagnostic fields (diag1 - diag4) info for the answer area, IXGANSAA. See System Programmer Response below for more information.

System action

System logger will continue to accept write requests until the interim storage associated with the specified log stream is full. Once it becomes full, logger will attempt to offload periodically until the problem is resolved or the log stream is disconnected.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Search the IXGCON mapping macro for the return code and reason code, and take the suggested action. Some diagnostic fields (diag1 - diag4) are described there. If the error cannot be corrected, contact the IBM® Support Center.

Instructions for specific installation environmental errors:
  • For return code X'08', reason code X'0805', an application can still write to the log stream until the application receives a return code X'08' on an IXGWRITE with a reason code that indicates that interim storage is full (e.g., X'0860', X'0865', or X'085D'). When interim storage becomes full, the error that caused this IXG301 message (e.g., out of space on DASD) must be corrected before more data can be written to the log stream.

    The contents of Diag1 and Diag2 are described in the documentation for message IXG003I, in the System Programmer Response section.

  • Return code X'08', reason code X'085C' indicates that an offload failed because the log stream's data set directory is full. If this problem is not corrected, applications might eventually be unable to write to this log stream. This might have already happened. See the explanation for accompanying messages IXG257I, IXG261E and IXG262A. Also see When DASD Log Data Set Space Fills in z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex.
  • For return code X'08', reason code X'085D', applications can continue to write data to the log stream until they receive an X'085D' or similar reason code from the IXGWRITE service indicating that the interim storage is full. The X'085D' reason code may also be included in this message if the response to message IXG312E was to "FAIL" (or "AUTOFAIL") the offload on this system. This reason code may also result if the response to message IXG272E was to "FAIL="” the allocation or recall request related to the log stream.
  • Return code X'0C', reason code X'0000' indicates that an internal logger error has occurred. The error occurs usually because a LOGR couple dataset has been inadvertently reused. If you find that no improper reuse of the Logger Couple Dataset has occurred, contact the IBM Support Center.
