OTOH, LOGR is cumulative - and unless everyone who can create logstream definitions always remembers to copy their new definition to a member that (supposedly) contains all the definitions from the beginning of time, you want have an easy way to delete / define the logstreams at DR. In some shops I've been at, it's not just the "MVS" sysprogs that define logstreams (the CICS team may define their own logstreams for example). This is why I wrote the LOGRREXX utility to create reverse delete/define statements. BTW, since we started mirroring DASD we don't have to delete/define them all. It depends on the application. OPERLOG and LOGREC seem to come up just fine at DR. RRS doesn't like the missing data. For CICS, I think it depends on how you start it and perhaps if it is DASDONLY, but since no one needs or cares about the CICS logstreams, we delete/define them all anyway right up front. >CF structures don't suddenly appear as Aphrodite out of the forehead of Zeus. > DASDONLY logstreams don't require CF structures.
