DFS2205I LOG INITIALIZATION FAILED - zzzz.

Explanation

Either the log or the DC monitor failed to initialize. zzzz helps to identify the cause of the problem and can be one of these strings:
INSUFFICIENT VIRTUAL STORAGE
A GETMAIN for the log or the DC WebSphere® Business Monitor storage failed.
MODULE xxxxxxxx, NOT LOADED
In an online IMS, an attempt to load a DC WebSphere Business Monitor module failed. In a batch environment, an attempt to load a log module failed. In either case,xxxxxxxx is the name of the module that could not be loaded.
DEVTYPE/RDJFCB/TRKCALC ERROR
A z/OS® service, DEVTYPE, RDJFCB, or TRKCALC, returned a nonzero return code. The abend memory dump must be examined to determine which service failed and the reason for the error.
INVALID DEVICE
For an online IMS, an OLDS or WADS is allocated to a non-DASD device or all WADS are not allocated to the same DASD device type. For a batch environment, the log is allocated to a tape device and a standard label is not specified.
NOT ENOUGH WADS OR OLDS
No WADS or less than three OLDS are specified for an online IMS.
LOG DATA SET REQUIRED
This is a batch job which declared that the database should be updated. Either no log DD statement is present or the log DD statement specified a DD DUMMY data set and DBRC is active.
LOG BLKSIZE INVALID (MIN yyyyy)
For an online IMS, either the log data set block size is not in multiples of 2048 or the block size is not large enough to handle the maximum log record created by IMS. yyyyy is the minimum log block size required.
BLKSIZE PARAMETER IS INVALID
The BLKSIZE= parameter on the OLDSDEF statement in the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member was invalid. BLKSIZE must specify a value that is a multiple of 2048, and that is between 6144 and 30,720.
LOGGER SECTION NOT FOUND IN DFSDFxxx
The required LOGGER section is not found in the specified DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member. xxx is the specified suffix.
REQUIRED DFSDFxxx MEMBER WAS NOT SPECIFIED
The DFSDFxxx member is required for IMS startup. At a minimum, it must contain the LOGGER section.

System action

For INSUFFICIENT VIRTUAL STORAGE, if this situation occurs while initializing the log, IMS abends with abend 0070. If this situation occurs during the DC monitor initialization, IMS sends message DFS2206I and continues processing.

For MODULE xxxxxxxx, NOT LOADED, if this situation occurs while initializing the DC WebSphere Business Monitor, IMS sends message DFS2206I and continues processing. If this situation occurs during log initialization in a batch environment, IMS terminates abnormally with abend 0071.

For DEVTYPE/RDJFCB/TRKCACL ERROR, if a DEVTYPE or TRKCALC error occurs, IMS terminates abnormally with abend 0072. If an RDJFCB error occurs, IMS terminates with abend 0074.

For INVALID DEVICE, IMS abends with abend 0075.

For NOT ENOUGH WADS OR OLDS, LOG DATA SET REQUIRED, LOG BLKSIZE INVALID (MIN yyyyy), and BLKSIZE PARAMETER INVALID, IMS terminates abnormally with abend 0073.

Programmer response

For zzzz value, DEVTYPE/RDJFCB/TRKCALC ERROR, the memory dump must be analyzed to determine the cause of the failure. For all the other zzzz values, ensure the following:
  • All required log DD statements are present.
  • Log DD statements specify device and data set attributes that meet IMS requirements.
  • Sufficient virtual storage and all required load modules are available.
