JCL procedures

IEESYSAS is a generic proc for starting various system related tasks. IXGLOGR is the "logger" task, which controls the "Log Streams". In particular, the "DASD-only" logs. This is what the recent releases of CICS/TS use instead of the old journals. Try looking in the manual: "OS/390: MVS Setting Up a Sysplex". This manual implies that these data sets can be in a user catalog. In particular, the paragraph:

"System logger does no SAF authorization checking for the high level qualifier you select for the DASD log data sets. This means that while you can select any high level qualifier you like, you should also plan carefully the name you choose. For example, system logger will allow you to choose SYS1 as your high level qualifier, but your DASD log stream data sets will end up in your master catalog! IBM recommends that you plan your high level qualifier carefully and add an alias for each high level qualifier in the master catalog that points to a user catalog."
