Primary system log

z/OS DFSMStvs Planning and Operating Guide
SC23-6877-00

The primary system log provides a separate backout log stream for each instance of DFSMStvs, called the undo log. The name of the undo log must be as follows:
IGTWTVnnn.IGWLOG.SYSLOG
In the name, nnn completes the DFSMStvs instance name.

The undo log must be allocated before you start DFSMStvs. This log stream is connected during DFSMStvs initialization and disconnected when the DFSMStvs instance ends.

A DFSMStvs instance logs its backout records in its undo log stream. These undo log records are used to back out the uncommitted changes made by a unit of recovery and are therefore written before the data is changed. An application can initiate backout, or it can occur as a result of an error, such as an abnormal end of the application.
