APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Customer is experiencing a large amount of system.log files
being created. For example:
system.log.D20150527.T091033
system.log.D20150527.T091113
system.log.D20150527.T142032

Most of them are small and contain only the following:
>>>> ALL Security mode is set to 1

It seems that these single system logs are created by an archive
step. The customer has verified that archive logging is not
enabled and has an archive.log from more then 100 MB with tons
of <nul><nul>entries and "ALL Security mode is set to
1" with a time stamp that exactly matches the system log name.
