Description: The JES3 DLOG facility was introduced for tracking all message activity in a sysplex. It uses an MCS extended console to receive the messages and reformats them in the JES3 format. When these messages are longer than can be formatted into a single line, they are split into two lines. Before z/OS V1R13 JES3, longer messages having a receive ID were formatted differently if they were suppressed by the message processing facility (MPF). Beginning with z/OS V1R13 JES3, all suppressed messages with a receive ID are split in the same manner.

Element or feature: | z/OS JES3. |
When change was introduced: | z/OS V1R13 |
Applies to migration from: | z/OS V1R12 |
Timing: | Before first IPL of z/OS V2R1. |
Is the migration action required? | Yes, if your installation has a code dependency on the format of messages in the JES3 DLOG. |
Target system hardware requirements: | None. |
Target system software requirements: | None. |
Other system (coexistence or fallback) requirements: | None. |
Restrictions: | None. |
System impacts: | None. |
Related IBM Health Checker for z/OS check: | None. |
Steps to take: Ensure that any dependency on DLOG message formats are examined and corrected.
