An activity log is created each time you issue the ARECOVER command. You may find the activity log useful because it contains messages output during aggregate recovery processing.
The format of the activity log data set name is: mcvtactn.Hmcvthost.ARECOVER.agname.Dyyddd.Thhmmss
The activity log is written to either a SYSOUT or DASD data set as determined by the ABARSACTLOGTYPE parameter of the SETSYS command. If you specify DASD and the allocation attempt fails, an attempt is be made to allocate the activity log to SYSOUT. See Defining SETSYS parameters for aggregate recovery for more information on setting the activity log output type.
Here is a partial example of the aggregate recovery activity log:
