The CICSplex File Control Journal and Logging attribute group reports the journaling and logging options of a given VSAM file as it is defined in the File Control Table.
CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case-sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.
File Name Is the name of the file. It is an eight character alphanumeric string.
Journal Forward Recovery Indicates the journal that corresponds to the z/OS system logger log stream that is to be used for forward recovery. This attribute is ignored for coupling facility data tables and, if there are any recovery attributes defined in the ICF catalog for a source data set associated with the table, these also are ignored. A CFDT is not forward recoverable.
Journal ID Is the number that identifies the journal that CICS can use for the forward recovery log. CICS journal names are of the form DFHJnn wherenn is in the range 1 through 99. The after images for forward recovery are written to the z/OS log stream that corresponds to journal name DFHJnn.
Journal Logging Indicates if journal logging in effect. Values are: Yes, No, and n/a (Not Applicable).
Journal Request Types Specifies the type of operations you want recorded on the journal nominated by the JOURNAL attribute. Values are:
LOG BWO Is the type of "backup while open" option for this file. CICS VSAM files can be defined as eligible for backup while open for update. You must specify the backup type on the data set definition in the ICF catalog. Values are:
LOG Options Indicates the type of logging for this data set. Values are:
LOG Recovery Required Indicates that automatic log recovery has been defined. Values are Yes and No.
z/OS Logstream Name Is the name of the z/OS Logstream associated with this file.
Origin Node The combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.
When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.
RLS in SIT Indicates whether RLS parameter was specified in the SIT or not. Values are:Yes orNo.
System ID Indicates the 4-character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 4 characters, and case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.
