In a Post-Log Merge environment, PowerExchange uses the Log Read API to read change data from the active and archive logs of each PowerExchange Logger on each MVS image in the sysplex. Then PowerExchange merges the change data in chronological order into a single stream for extraction processing. You can use the Post-Log Merge commands to manage merge processing in the following ways:

To issue Post-Log Merge commands, use the standard MVS MODIFY (F) command. You must include the Post-Log-Merge started task name or job name followed by a comma (,). In the command syntax, this name is indicated by the

task_name

variable.
