The PowerExchange Logger is a high-performance started task. Assign it to an appropriate Workload Manager (WLM) service class. For more information, see Using WLM Service Classes to Prioritize PowerExchange CDC Started Tasks on z/OS.

If you anticipate a large volume of captured data, allocate buffers and data sets that are larger than those allocated in the sample startup procedures.

Consider defining more active log data sets than the number specified in the sample startup procedures.

Allocate the Logger active logs, emergency restart data sets, and the Archive Log Copy1 on high-performance DASD.

The PowerExchange Logger is a long-running MVS started task. Therefore, ensure that your existing MVS system parameters or JCL does not cancel the PowerExchange Logger after a specified amount of CPU time or time.

To prevent cancellation of the PowerExchange Logger after a specified amount of CPU time or time, you need to specify

TIME=1440

or

TIME=NOLIMIT

in the EXEC statement of the PowerExchange Logger startup procedure.
