Commands mirrored on an XRF alternate

Certain commands that successfully alter IMS™ resources are written to the system log as X'02' or X'22' log records.

IMS type-1 commands that alter resources write an X'02' log record. Type-2 commands that alter resources write an X'22' log record. In an XRF environment, the X'02' or X'22' log records are read and processed by the alternate system as it tracks the active system. The effect of these commands is mirrored on the alternate system when it takes over and becomes the active system. These commands, along with exceptions, are listed in the following table.
