Restarting the change accumulation process for logs

Change accumulation erroneously stops processing logs and the source of the problem is traced to an OLDS left in the ARC STARTED state. An IPL of z/OS® is done on the CPU where the archive job was run and the status of the OLDS remains in this state.

GENJCL.ARCHIVE jobs do not include any OLDS in ARC STARTED status. The online IMS that created the OLDS is not running on this CPU.

If the online IMS is run on the same CPU as the archive job when IMS is restarted, it resets the status of all OLDS in ARC STARTED status to ARC NEEDED. The OLDS is included in the next archive job. To avoid this problem, run archive jobs on the same CPU as their corresponding IMS systems.

In cases where manual intervention is required, use the following command to change the status of the OLDS to archive needed (ARNEEDED):

  CHANGE.PRILOG OLDS(DFSOLPXX) ARNEEDED SSID(XXXX)
