In response to an ARCHIVE_LOG command, the PowerExchange Logger started an asynchronous task to archive (offload) the active log data set. The PowerExchange Logger truncates the current active log data set, switches to the next available active log data set, and initiates the asynchronous offload task to archive the active log data set.
The term
asynchronous
indicates that control returns to the invoker as soon as the offload task starts.
The PowerExchange Logger command processor accepts and processes any PowerExchange Logger commands while the offload task is running. If you use the MODE(QUIESCE) option with the ARCHIVE_LOG command, the system displays message PWXEDM172658I.
Follow normal operational procedures when the offload task begins.
