COPY 2 PREFIX field
The value of the COPY 2 PREFIX field specifies the prefix that is to be used for the second copy of the active log data sets.
| Acceptable values: | valid data set name prefix; 1–30 characters |
|---|---|
| Default: | DSNCAT.LOGCOPY2 or DSNCAT.DSN1.LOGCOPY2 |
| Update: | option 8 on panel DSNTIPB; not during migration |
| DSNZPxxx: | none |
If you are using single logging, accept the default value. Do not leave the entry blank.
For non-data-sharing environments, the default prefix is DSNCAT.LOGCOPYx. For data sharing environments, the default prefix is DSNCAT.DSN1.LOGCOPYx. The resulting data set name is DSNCAT.LOGCOPYx.Annnnnnn or DSNCAT.DSN1.LOGCOPYx.Annnnnnn, where:
- DSNCAT is the value of the CATALOG ALIAS field on panel DSNTIPA2. You can change this portion of the data set prefix on this panel. If you change it, you need to specify another catalog alias. This additional catalog alias is not automatically defined by the installation process.
- DSN1 is the value of the MEMBER NAME field on panel DSNTIPK.
- LOGCOPY is part of the data set prefix that you can change on this panel.
- x is 1 for the first copy of the logs and 2 for the second copy.
- nnnnnnn is the data set number.
