From ca768b663131ca644689fcadc9ca092dcc96a758 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Weinhuber Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:05:54 +0100 Subject: [S390] vmlogrdr: purge after recording is switched off If automatic purge is enabled for a vmlogrdr device, old records are purged before an IUCV recording service is switched on or off. If z/VM generates a large number of records between purging and switching the recording service off, these records remain queued, and may have a negative performance impact on the z/VM system. To avoid this problem, we need to purge the records after recording is switched off.
