IXG267I
DataSetType DATASET DataSetName ALLOCATED WITH INCORRECT VSAM SHAREOPTIONS, USE IS ACCEPTED BUT NOT RECOMMENDED.

Explanation

System logger detected that a dataset which has just been allocated has incorrect VSAM SHAREOPTIONS. This can lead to system logger being unable to read back the data for operations such as Logstream Recovery and Browse requests. Datasets used for system logger in this environment MUST have VSAM SHAREOPTIONS set to at least (3,3), either through the SMS DATACLAS that is associated with the Logstream, or a similar method.

In the message text:
DataSetType
The type of the data set. This can be either:
Logstream
A Logstream (Offload) Dataset is allocated.
Staging
A Staging (Recovery) Dataset is allocated.
DataSetName
The name of the data set.

System action

System logger allows the Allocation. However, in order to ensure correct operation of the system, the SHAREOPTIONS MUST be updated. See System Programmer Response.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

The VSAM SHAREOPTIONS for this data set are incorrect, and must be changed through IDCAMS to avoid future problems trying to access the data. In addition, the logstream attribute LS_DATACLAS or STG_DATACLAS may need to be changed to point to an SMS DATACLAS that has the correct options. To determine the current DATACLAS values, run the IXCMIAPU Utility and specify "LIST LOGSTREAM NAME(logstream) DETAIL(YES) LISTCAT". If the log stream is not defined with xx_DATACLAS, then you may need to update your ACS Routines, or other allocation defaults on your system. Alternatively, the SMS DATACLAS can be altered. Be aware that this type of change will impact any data set associated with this DATACLAS.
