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. Allocate the new xxxxLOGP and xxxxLOGS datasets on the same non-SMS volume: your.ca7.LOGS.new and your.ca7.LOGP.new.
2. Issue /DISPLAY,DB=LOG  >>>>>>>>>> get the name of the current log
3. Shut down CA7. 
4. Outside of CA7, run the log dump job for the log that was active prior to the shutdown (see step 1 above)
5. Rename your current LOGP and LOGS dataset names to .OLD
6. Rename your newly allocated log dataset with a .new to the original names.
7. Start CA7.
