Fields in the Logstream System Logs Report

The Logstream System Logs Report is produced using the EXEC CICS INQUIRE STREAMNAME and EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS STREAMNAME commands. The statistics data is mapped by the DFHLGSDS DSECT.

For more information about logstreams, see CICS logging and journaling.

Table 1. Fields in the Logstream System Logs report
Field Heading Description
Logstream Name The name of the logstream.

Source field: EXEC CICS INQUIRE STREAMNAME()

Logstream Status The current status of the logstream.

Source field: EXEC CICS INQUIRE STREAMNAME() STATUS()

DASD Only Indicates the type of logstream. If set to YES, the logstream is of type DASDONLY. If set to NO, the log stream is of type coupling facility (CF).

Source field: LGSDONLY

Retention Period (days) The logstream retention period (in days) that the data must be kept before it can be physically deleted by the MVS Logger.

Source field: LGSRETPD

Coupling Facility Structure Name The coupling facility (CF) structure name for the logstream. The structure name is only applicable to coupling facility type logstreams.

Source field: LGSSTRUC

Auto Delete The log data auto delete indicator. If set to YES the MVS Logger automatically deletes the data as it matures beyond the retention period, irrespective of any logstream delete calls. If set to NO, the data is only deleted when a logstream delete call is issued and the data has matured beyond the retention period.

Source field: LGSAUTOD

Logstream Writes The number of write (IXGWRITE) requests issued to this logstream.

Source field: LGSWRITES

Maximum Block Length The maximum block size allowed by the MVS Logger for the logstream.

Source field: LGSMAXBL

Logstream Writes per second The number of logstream writes per second for this logstream.

Source field: (LGSWRITES / ELAPSED-SECONDS)

Average Bytes per Logstream Write The average number of bytes written to this logstream per write request.

Source field: (LGSBYTES / LGSWRITES)

Logstream Deletes (Tail Trims) The number of delete (IXGDELET) requests issued to this logstream.

Source field: LGSDELETES

Logstream Query Requests The number of query requests issued for this logstream.

Source field: LGSQUERIES

Logstream Browse Starts The number of browse start requests issued for this logstream.

Source field: LGSBRWSTRT

Logstream Browse Reads The number of browse read requests issued for this logstream.

Source field: LGSBRWREAD

Logstream Buffer Appends The number of occasions on which a journal record was successfully appended to the current log stream buffer.

Source field: LGSBUFAPP

Logstream Buffer Full Waits The number of times buffer full has occurred for this logstream.

Source field: LGSBUFWAIT

Logstream Force Waits The total number of tasks suspending while requesting a flush of the logstream buffer currently in use.

Source field: LGSTFCWAIT

Logstream Current Force Waiters The current number of force waiters for this logstream.

Source field:

Logstream Retry Errors The number of occasions on which MVS system logger retryable errors occurred when a block of data was being written to the log stream.

Source field: LGSRTYERRS

Logstream Peak Force Waiters The peak number of force waiters for this logstream.

Source field: LGSPKFWTRS
