LOG Write-Ahead Protocols and IMS/VS Logging
Summary: Implements IMS/VS V1.3 logging on DASD using Log Write-Ahead (LWA) protocols to preserve strict transactional consistency while improving availability. Presents recovery/restart algorithms, trade-offs and design rationale aimed at minimizing performance impact and ensuring correct restart semantics. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
