IXG053I
SYSTEM LOGGER DID NOT INITIALIZE BECAUSE reason

Explanation

An attempt was made to start system logger, but the system detected a condition that caused system logger initialization to fail.

In the message text:
reason
One of the following:
THE SYSTEM IS IN XCF LOCAL MODE
System logger requires sysplex mode.
IXGLOGR=NOSTART SPECIFIED ON LOGR SUBSYS
The installation specified INITPARM(IXGLOGR=NOSTART) in an IEFSSNxx parmlib member, which results in the IXGLOGR address space not being started on this system.

System action

The system does not start system logger, meaning the IXGLOGR address space is not active nor available for the duration of this IPL.

When the IXGLOGR address space is not available for reason IXGLOGR=NOSTART SPECIFIED ON LOGR SUBSYS, the following system actions result:
  1. The LOGR (or named) subsystem functional routines were established.

    However, any JCL DD SUBSYS=(LOGR,exit,...) or dynamic allocation equivalents will likely result in the subsystem exit routine encountering a return code 8, reason code 0814x condition. See IxgRsnCodeNotAvailForIPL in IXGCON macro.

    For example, if the logger subsysem default exit IXGSEXIT was requested in this environment, then system logger message would be issued indicating the IXGCONN service failed with the return and reason codes listed above.

    Errors returned by any system logger subsystem exit routine will cause system logger to issue message IXG504I indicating the exit error condition.

  2. Attempts to start the IXGLOGR address space (re: IXGLOGRS procedure) will not complete successfully as system logger will not allow the IXGLOGR address space to start because of the IXGLOGR=NOSTART specification.
  3. Any system logger API (IXGxxxxx) service request made on this system will result in the requester receiving a return code 8, reason code 0814x (IxgRsnCodeNotAvailForIPL) condition.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

If system logger services are required, then plan and process the appropriate configuration changes that ensure the correct environment, and reIPL the system.
