IBM SY44-5902-05 manual Options and function keys, Analyze log

The Licensed Internal Code maintains a 128KB shadow log on the load-source disk. The log contains a duplicate copy of the latest entries. When you perform an IPL to Dedicated Service Tools (DST), the Product activity log option uses this shadow log.

Note: The shadow log is not available in the stand-alone environment (Type-D IPL). In the limited paging environment, some options are not available. For more information on paging environments, see “System paging environments” on page 2.
