When you set up your logging configuration for a system logger application, you should do some basic planning. See the following topics:

• Determine the number of log streams required. This step is required for both coupling facility and DASD-only log streams.
• Determine the right kind of log stream for each application.
• Determine which log streams map to which coupling facility structures. Do this for coupling facility log streams only.
• Plan your configuration for log data recovery. Do this for coupling facility log streams only.
