HBOG046E The z/OS® Log Forwarder cannot use the common storage area for file path file_path.

Explanation

The common storage area was not created or is not completely initialized. The common storage area is required for forwarding z/OS SYSLOG messages.

After 30 seconds, the z/OS Log Forwarder again tries to use the common storage area.

Note:

If you see this message after you delete a data space, the common storage area is reinitialized after you restart the user exit and at least one console message is driven.

Response

Either a z/OS SYSLOG gatherer was unintentionally configured, or the user exit is not active.

If a z/OS SYSLOG gatherer was unintentionally configured, remove it from the data configuration file.

If the user exit is not installed and active, activate it.

If the problem persists, contact IBM® Software Support.
