ACTIVELOGDIRECTORY

The ACTIVELOGDIRECTORY option specifies the name of the directory where all active logs are stored.

This option is appended to the options file when the DSMSERV FORMAT command is run. Under normal operating conditions, the option does not need to be changed. See DSMSERV FORMAT (Format the database and log) for guidance on this option.
