You must keep all the log records as far back as the lowest RBA identified in messages CSQI024I and CSQI025I. This RBA is obtained using the DISPLAY USAGE command that you issued when creating a point of recovery using Method 1: Full backup. Read Creating a point of recovery for non-shared resources before discarding any logs.
Having established the minimum log RBA required for recovery, you can find archive log data sets that contain only earlier log records by performing the following procedure:
If no volumes have an appropriate range, one of the foloowing cases applies:
Also consider increasing the value of MAXARCH. For information, see the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide.
Because BSDS entries wrap around, the first few entries in the BSDS archive log section might be more recent than the entries at the bottom. Look at the combination of date and time and compare their ages. Do not assume that you can discard all entries above the entry for the archive log containing the minimum LOGRBA.
Delete the data sets. If the archives are on tape, erase the tapes. If they are on DASD, run a z/OS utility to delete each data set. Then, if you want the BSDS to list only existing archive volumes, use the change log inventory utility (CSQJU003) to delete entries for the discarded volumes. See Changes for archive logs for an example.
