Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : SYSVIEW

Resolution

First enter LGLOGS and confirm that ACTIVE is in the 2nd column next to IMSLOGR.IMRS and IMSLOGR.IMTR entries. To change this:

1. Enter command LIBVIEW PARMLIB IMSLOGR and note the dataset name.  
2. Enter command PARMLIB and select the line with the dataset name from above with an E for edit.
3. Scroll down to the IMSLOGR member and select it. 
4. Copy the lines for LOGSTREAM-IMSREGN-NAME and LOGSTREAM-IMSTRAN-NAME, and comment out the new line with a * in column 1.  This will preserve the dataset name for future reference. 
5. On the one that is not commented out, change the dataset name starting in column 35 to NONE.
6. Save the changes
7. Enter command LGLOGS and both IMSLOGR.IMRS and IMSLOGR.IMTR should now show INACTIVE. 

Note, copying the LOGSTREAM-**-NAME line should make it easier to convert back once logging should be resumed.
