You can now allocate offload data sets for log streams before moving log data from the interim
or primary storage to DASD. Obtaining offload data sets in advance helps to significantly reduce or
completely avoid delays that might result from DASD space issues that are encountered when
offloading log stream data. Another benefit is to provide a warning if the offload processing for
the log streams encounters a DASD allocation inhibitor. The warning provides the installation with
enough time to remedy any resource issues before any outage conditions arise.
