Issue/Introduction

GSV2802E (CICSLOGR) IXGWRITE failed. R15=301 error in SYSVIEW log with RC=00000008 RSN=0000085C appears in log.  I attempted to run the job INST0044 and am still getting the errors in the log.   

Cause

The directory space for the logger ran out of space

Resolution

From the IBM IXGWRITE error codes manual, the reason code 85C means:  

Explanation: Environment error. The interim storage (for example: the coupling facility structure space allocated or the staging data set space) for the log stream is full. System logger's attempts to offload the interim storage log data to DASD has failed because the log stream's data set directory is full. If this reason code is issued by the IXGWRITE request, no further write requests can be processed until additional directory space is available for the log stream.

System logger will periodically re-drive its offload attempts for this condition, which is applicable to both coupling facility structure and DASD-only type log streams. If system logger is able to offload log data, then an ENF event will be issued informing the connectors that the log stream should be available for writing more log data. However, the time that passes before you can write to the log stream is unpredictable.

The system issues related messages IXG257I, IXG261E, IXG262A and IXG301I.

Action: The system programmer must make more log stream data set directory space available.
