In an Adabas cluster environment, you can merge command logs (CLOGs) across a cluster in one of two ways:
If your system is set up appropriately (CLOGMRG=YES and user exit 2), CLOGs are merged automatically.
Otherwise, you can merge CLOGs manually using the ADARES MERGE CLOG utility function.
Sequential data sets are expected as input to the MERGE CLOG function; therefore, the ADARES CLCOPY function must be executed prior to the ADARES MERGE function.
The timestamp contained in the CLOGLAYOUT=5 is required for the proper merging of command logs records.
The NUMLOG parameter is required: it specifies the number of command log data sets to be included in the merge process. The maximum number is 32.
