Explanation: The execution controller could not establish a restartable environment for the job step. The abend code displayed depends on the value specified for the Use Abend Code Series (ABN) option. For more information, see the Use Abend Code Series option in Batch Control Facility. The job log for this execution contains messages about the error(s) encountered.

User response: Manual intervention is required. Correct the errors, update the REGISET to reflect changes that result from actions (log closure, backout, etc.) taken to correct the error(s), and restart the job step.

Explanation: The execution controller has encountered an error that prevents further execution. The abend code displayed depends on the value specified for the Use Abend Code Series (ABN) option. For more information, see the Use Abend Code Series option in Batch Control Facility. The job log for this execution contains messages about the error(s) encountered.

Explanation: The AR/CTL BCF component Physical Logger has encountered an unrecoverable error during initialization. The abend code displayed depends on the value specified for the Use Abend Code Series (ABN) option. For more information, see the Use Abend Code Series option in Batch Control Facility. The initialization routine could not locate the directory module (BECDIR) containing the execution defaults. Control could not be returned to the IMS Physical Logger because module DFSXLGI0 could not be located.

User response: Restart the job step, making certain that the modules necessary for execution are available.

Explanation: The AR/CTLBCF component Physical Logger encountered an error while attempting to write critical restart information to the REGISET. This information is necessary to provide job step restart. The abend code displayed depends on the value specified for the Use Abend Code Series option. For more information, see the Use Abend Code Series (ABN) option in Batch Control Facility. Instead of risking a restart error, the job step terminates abnormally.

User response: Correct the errors with the REGISET. If you are unable to do so, ensure that a SYSUDUMP and the job log listings are available and contact BMC Customer Support.

Explanation: During batch backout, the BCF component of AR/CTL encountered COND=ONLY in a job step and backout completed successfully. Any subsequent job step that executes DFSBBO00 and contains COND=ONLY is bypassed. The abend code displayed depends on the value specified for the Use Abend Code Series option. For more information, see the Use Abend Code Series (ABN) option in Batch Control Facility. Processing continues.

User response: This message is for your information only. No action is necessary.

Explanation: The AR/CTL BCF component Backout Assist feature encountered an error that can make the results of the IMS Batch Backout utility execution unpredictable. The abend is issued to prevent database damage. The job step or the batch backout operation terminates abnormally.

User response: If the reason for the abend cannot be determined and corrected, execute the IMS Batch Backout utility without the Backout Assist feature active. The Backout Assist feature can be deactivated by including a DD statement (BCFBAIGN, DD DUMMY) in the JCL for the step.

Explanation: AR/CTL detected that the application program issued a ROLL call. AR/CTL issues message BMC74297I and terminates abnormally.

User response: Contact the application programmer to determine why the application issued the ROLL call and determine the action to take.

Explanation: During AR/CTL BCF component restart processing, the previous job step abended, and the job step member was marked active. This user abend occurs when the last AR/CTL BCF component task that was active fails to complete its processing. Completion of job step processing is indicated by an “ENDED” or “ENDED+ABENDED” status message displayed beside the execution control record. Processing terminates.

User response: Use the Display Active Job Step Member panel to mark the execution control record as abnormally terminated. As a result of this user abend, any steps coded as COND=ONLY for batch backout are bypassed if the AR/CTL BCF component is active for the job step.

Explanation: An error occurred during AR/CTL processing. Processing terminates.

User response: Check the messages issued during the job step for details about the cause of the error and the action to take.

Explanation: AR/CTL BCF component restart processing has completed all recovery steps necessary for application restart. The execution control record indicates that deferred application restart processing has been requested. Processing terminates.

User response: This abend is issued to prevent execution of any additional steps contained in the job and does not indicate an error condition. As a result of this user abend, any steps coded as COND=ONLY for batch backout are bypassed if the AR/CTL BCF component is active for the job step.

Explanation: An error occurred during AR/CTL initialization. Processing terminates.

User response: Check the messages issued during the job step for details about the cause of the error and the action to take.

Explanation: The AR/CTL BCF component interface module was not able to find the BLPLCA control block. Processing terminates.

User response: Find out why the operator CANCEL was issued and resubmit the job.

Explanation: The execution controller detected that the program abended during execution. The job step has been recovered to a point ready for job step restart. The Program Abend option (set at the AR/CTL global level) was specified as BMC.

User response: This abend does not indicate a problem with the BCF component of AR/CTL. This abend occurred so that, as the application program abended, it could be recognized by any automated operations products installed on the system. If you cannot determine the reason for the abend, ensure that a SYSUDUMP and the job log listings are available and contact BMC Customer Support.

User response: Check the AR/CTL messages issued during the job step for details about the cause of the error and the action to take.

Explanation: AR/CTL detected that the application issued a Db2 request but that no non-IMS program registration record, subsystem member, or DDITV02 statement was present. AR/CTL backs out uncommitted changes to application sequential access method (ASAM) data sets, issues message BMC74323, and abnormally terminates the job step with abend U1777 and reason code X'00074323'.

User response: Provide the correct external subsystem connection parameters by supplying the subsystem member name in the parameter field of the EXEC statement or in a DD statement named DDITV02.

Explanation: AR/CTL detected that the Automatic DB2 Cursor Repositioning option is set to Y, the Action for No Repositioning Record is set to ABEND, and a cursor repositioning record was not found for the cursor named in message BMC74361E. AR/CTL issues message BMC74361E. Processing terminates.

User response: See message BMC74361E.

Explanation: AR/CTL detected an error in the QUICKSTART for MVS-to-AR/CTL bridge. AR/CTL issues one or more accompanying error messages. Processing terminates.

User response: See the accompanying messages.
