Log management

All DBCTL-related information is sent to the IMS log, not the CICS® system log.

This method of logging uses the IMS log utilities and the online log data sets (OLDS) and write-ahead data sets (WADS). Because database change records are written to the IMS log, you do not need to retain the CICS system log for use by IMS database recovery utilities in a DBCTL-exclusive environment. IMS logging operations are described in IMS logging.
