The PowerExchange Logger issues this message when the last available active log data set is 75 percent full. The PowerExchange Logger re-issues this message after each additional 5 percent of the data-set space is filled.
The shortage of active log data set space has the following possible causes:
Excessive logging, such as too many users requesting logs at the same time.
Delayed or slow offloading, which can be caused by the system operator failing to mount archive volumes, incorrectly replying to offload process messages, or using devices with slow device speeds.
Offload process failure. For more information, see the user response.
Insufficient active log space. For more information, see the user response.
Each time the PowerExchange Logger issues this message, it tries to perform offload processing. If the offload process is successful, the PowerExchange Logger does not re-issue this message. If the offload process is not successful and if the cause of the failure is not corrected, the active log data space fills until it reaches full capacity. The PowerExchange Logger then issues message PWXEDM172673I and halts all processing of change data.
To resolve this issue, you must either correct the problem that is causing the offload process to fail or add more active log data sets, as follows:
To correct the problem that is causing the offload failure, complete other waiting offload tasks. Then, when an active log data set is made available or reusable, PowerExchange logging activity can continue. Perform a display request to determine the outstanding requests related to the log offload process. Respond to any outstanding requests and then permit the offload process to continue. If the offload process does not complete normally or cannot be initiated, notify the system programmer.
To add more data sets, you must stop the logging process, stop the PowerExchange Logger, run the PowerExchange Logger batch change utility to add new active log data sets, and then restart the Logger.
