Issue/Introduction

How to increase the size of the CA 7 - LOGP and LOGS datasets. 

Environment

CA 7 (all releases)

Cause

If there is an increase in batch jobs or start scheduling to distributed platforms it may be necessary to increase the size of the LOGP and LOGS datasets.
The default size for these datasets is 10 Cylinders.

Resolution

To enlarge the LOGP / LOGS datasets you will need to bring CA 7 down and use ISPF to reallocate both logs files larger. Remember, both files must reside on the same volume and can not be moved.
Restart CA 7.

If a process is required:

1. Use ISPF to define new LOG file as LOGP.NEW and LOGS.NEW 
2. Stop queues '/STOP Q=ALL'
3. Check the current LOG in use '/DISPLAY,DB=LOG' e.g. LOGP in use 
4. Swap the LOG to LOGS '/SWAP' - swap to LOGS
5. Shutdown CA 7
6. Run CA07LOGP outside of CA 7 to backup the LOGP
7. Rename old LOG files to LOGP.OLD / LOGS.OLD
8. Rename new LOG file to LOGP / LOGS
9. Start CA 7
10. Start queues '/START Q=ALL'
