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 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.
