If the staging data set storage limit for a coupling facility or DASD-only log stream connection is reached, an IXGWRITE request will be rejected with a return code of X'08' and a reason code of X'0865'. When this happens, system logger initiates the offload process to move log data to DASD log data sets and delete corresponding staging data set log data immediately. When offload processing completes, write requests can complete successfully and the staging data set is available to hold duplexed log data again.
Applications should not resume issuing 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 will still receive logger service return and reason codes indicating failure or resource shortages. These applications can then set a timer 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'o85D'. 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.
