OS/390 (or more likely today z/OS) cuts a number of different logs for different purposes. There is the SYSLOG which contains all (or a vast majority of) the WTO's issued by system components and application programs. There are the SMF records, which record numerous system events for performance and audit use, among others. DB2 has it's log, which contains system checkpoint data and records of before and/or after images of data impacted by insert, update or delete statements. IMS has a log similar to DB2, as I imagine do all database systems that can run on the mainframe. CICS has logging and journaling processes, although my CICS background is minimal. In addition, there are logs written by other applications, some to SMF, some to there own log, as well as logs written by the z/OS UNIX component of z/OS. In short, there probably are more types of logs available than most could even think of. Maybe if you could provide some detail on your needs, you would get a better response.
