Example of log data that is accessible to DFHJUP
Assume that you have defined a CICS system log with RETPD(10) and AUTODELETE(NO). The active portion of the log stream will consist of the data that CICS has not marked for deletion. The inactive portion of the log stream will consist of the data that CICS has marked for deletion, but which MVS has not yet physically deleted—because it is less than 10 days old.
Figure 1 shows active and
inactive data on a log stream with a RETPD value of 10.
The report output by DFHJUP advises you whether each block of data was read from the active or inactive area of the log stream—see Figure 1.
