Since you have not had an answer, I will give it a try. When DFHSM was developed it was probably the only way that IBM could ENSURE that the two files would be available. Not sure what would happen if one of them went missing. So it is probably something hard coded within DFHSM itself.
Is it still needed in today's environment? I am not sure. Maybe someone else will if this answer seems right.

Hello, We recently 'switched' on the ARCLOGx and ARCLOGy functionality of DFHSM. All working perfectly well. However, apparently it is somewhat required to have both output datasets residing on the same volume. (else messages like ARC0022I may appear at swaplog-time). This is all documented well, however I do not understand why this requirement is there. Does anyone have an idea why DFHSM is unable to handle a rename when both output datasets do not reside on the same volume? Many thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
