IT36990: Queue manager not releasing media recovery log extents

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A queue manager is configured with linear logging and the queue
  manager is expected to release the media recovery log extents
  after recording media image.  However the queue manager is not
  releasing
  the log extents after recording media image (e.g. by running
  rcdmqimg command). The problem is also applicable to queue
  managers configured with automatic media image recording.
  
  The QM logs likely to show AMQ7467 messages with increasing
  number of log extent numbers while the AMQ7468 messages with
  same extent number.
  
  Example:
  
  AMQ7467I: The oldest log file required to start queue manager
  QM1 is S0237665.LOG.
  AMQ7468I: The oldest log file required to perform media recovery
  of queue manager QM1 is S0237500.LOG.
