An IXGWRITE request will be rejected with return code X'08' and reason code X'0860' when the storage limit for the coupling facility structure associated with a coupling facility log stream is reached. Although the data offload to DASD process generally ensures that data gets written to DASD before the coupling facility structure fills up, this condition can occur due to sudden bursts of activity or when another log stream is activated and defined to the coupling facility. When this happens, system logger offloads data from the coupling facility to DASD immediately.
Applications should not issue any further write requests until the temporary condition has been resolved. Applications that do not want to use ENF event code 48 or that are unauthorized and cannot use ENFREQ would still receive system logger service return and reason codes indicating failure or resource shortages. These applications can then set a time and then retry the requests to see if the problem has resolved itself.
If system logger is unable to offload the log data because of log data set directory space shortages or other log stream offload issues, then the IXGWRITE request may also be rejected with return code X'08' and reason code X'085C' or X'085D'. You can retry your IXGWRITE (or IXGIMPRT) request periodically or wait for the ENF signal that the log stream is available, or disconnect from this log stream and connect to another log stream. For additional actions related to log stream offloads, refer to system messages IXG257I, IXG261E, IXG262A and IXG301I.
