SVM4001I

RECOVERY ATTEMPT FAILED TO PASS FLST/RLST CRITERIA

Explanation: The job/DSN did not satisfy the filter or rule list criteria specified for the recovery type being attempted. The recovery type was listed in the preceding SVM4000I message.

User response: If you prefer that this job/DSN be recovered, the filter or rule lists must be modified to select the job/DSN for recovery. The reason for the FLST/RLST failure can be determined by specifying TRACE=YES for the job/DSN in the appropriate SMMDIAGxx member and rerunning the job.

SVM4003I

svos NOT ACTIVE, function UNABLE TO PROCESS

Explanation: The  Started Task (SVOS) is no longer active and the specified function is not valid. This message is generated when the HOOKONLY command is issued to stop the  Started Task, while leaving the BMC AMI Storage Allocationor X37II hooks active.  is not able to perform the specified function.

User response: Start  to allow full functionality of BMC AMI Storage Allocation (or X37II).

SVM4100I

PRIMARY NOT REDUCED FOR KEYRANGE CLUSTER dsn

Explanation: The allocation component cannot perform primary space reduction for ICF VSAM clusters defined with key ranges.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4101I

UNABLE TO REDUCE PRIMARY RC = returnCode, RSN = reasonCode

Explanation: The allocation component was unable to reduce the primary space allocation. The returnCode (RC) and reasonCode (RSN) are returned by VSAM.

User response: Examine the catalog return code and reason code to determine why the DEFINE failed. The return code and reason code can be found in the IBM System Messages and Codes Manual under message IDC3009I.

SVM4102I

UNABLE TO REDUCE PRIMARY, REASON=NO SPACE FPL

Explanation: The allocation component was unable to reduce the primary space allocation because the space parameter on the IDCAMS DEFINE could not be determined.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4103I

PRIMARY SPACE REQUEST WENT TO ZERO DSN=dsn

Explanation: StopX37/II reduced the primary space request until it reached zero. Primary allocations of zero are not allowed for VSAM or partitioned data sets. The data set cannot be allocated.

User response: Increase space available to the data set.

SVM4104I

PRIMARY SPACE REQUEST WENT BELOW LIMIT DSN= dsn

Explanation: The allocation component reduced the primary space request for a data set past the floor limit specified in the SPACPRIM keyword in the SPACPRIM RLST. The data set will not be allocated. This messages is issued for VSAM as well as non-VSAM data sets.

User response: Increase space available to the data set or reduce the floor limit specified in the RLST.

SVM4105E

UNABLE TO SCRATCH/RENAME; REASON = reason

Explanation: StopX37/II was unable to scratch or rename the data set for the reason indicated.

User response: Examine the text to see why the operation could not be performed.

SVM4106S

action FAILED FOR DSN= dsn (RC- returnCode - reasonCode)

Explanation: The catalog management function being performed by the allocation component failed. The return code and reason code were returned by catalog management.

User response: Examine the catalog return code and reason code to determine why the operation failed. The return code and reason code can be found in the IBM System Messages and Codes Manual under message IDC3009I.

SVM4107S

GETMAIN FAILED FOR CPL LOCATE WORK AREA

Explanation: A GETMAIN failed when trying to obtain space for a catalog parameter list (CPL) control block. The recovery will be terminated.

User response: Increase the region size and rerun the job.

SVM4108S

CANDIDATE VOLUME DETECTED IN CATALOG DURING SPACVOLA PROCESSING

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing for an SMS-managed data set, an existing candidate volume (******) was found in the catalog that indicates that the data set should have already extended to a new volume without the allocation component. The recovery will be terminated.

User response: Attempt to determine why the data set did not extend to a new volume in the storage group.

SVM4109S

DUPLICATE VOLUME DETECTED IN CATALOG DURING SPACVOLA PROCESSING

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing for an SMS-managed data set, the same volume was found twice in the existing data set list. The recovery will be terminated. This message will be followed by message SVM4110S, which indicates the failing data set.

User response: This error is severe. Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4110S

DETECTED FOR DSN= dsn

Explanation: This message lists the data set name associated with the preceding SVM4109S message.

User response: See SVM4109S.

SVM4111I

dsn RENAMED TO dsn

Explanation: NOCATLG2=RENAME was specified in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component recovered the data set by renaming the old data set using the second-level qualifier in the NOCATPFX operand in the SMMSYSxx member of parmlib.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4112S

UNABLE TO RENAME - INVALID NOCATPFX: dsn

Explanation: NOCATLG2=RENAME was specified in the NOCATLG2 RLST. The allocation component attempted to rename the data set, but the second-level qualifier in the NOCATPFX operand in the SMMDIAGxx member of parmlib was invalid.

User response: The NOCATPFX operand must be a valid second-level qualifier.

SVM4113I

ASSIGNED OVERFLOW vol TO SATISFY PRIMARY REQUEST FOR dsn

Explanation: StopX37/II detected an error for insufficient space on the volser passed by the IDCAMS utility program during catalog of a VSAM data set (dsn). The SPACPRIM function was able to recover the allocation by locating a DASD volume (vol) in an overflow storage group that had sufficient space to satisfy the original primary request. There was no need to reduce the primary amount. This message is typically followed by the IGD17223I message to indicate that the data set was allocated to an overflow storage group.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4114I

PRIMARY SPACE REQUEST WENT BELOW LIMIT

Explanation: The allocation component reduced the primary space below the floor limit specified in the SPACSWIR RLST. The primary space for a VSAM file was reduced during SPACVOLA processing by the percentage specified in the SPACSWIR RLST until it was below the floor limit. The data set will not be recovered.

User response: Either provide more space for the data set or lower the floor limit specified in the SPACSWIR RLST and rerun the job.

SVM4115I

PRIMARY SPACE REQUEST WENT TO ZERO

Explanation: The allocation component reduced the primary space request to zero, and the request still failed. Because primary allocations of zero are allowed by z/OS, failure occurred for another reason: the VTOC was full or a DADSM exit failed the request.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4116I

SECONDARY SPACE REQUEST WENT BELOW LIMIT OR TO ZERO

Explanation: The allocation component reduced the secondary space below the floor limit specified in the SPACSWIR RLST or to zero. The secondary space for an SMS file was reduced during SPACVOLA processing by the percentage specified in the SPACSWIR RLST until it was below the floor limit or until it went to zero. The data set will not be recovered.

User response: Either provide more space for the data set or lower the floor limit specified in the SPACSWIR RLST and rerun the job.

SVM4117I

job,step,dd,dsn PRIMARY SPACE REDUCED orga / newa units

Explanation: The allocation component has reduced the original primary space allocation (orga) to the new allocation (newa). The allocation was requested in units of CYL, TRK, BLK, MAV, KAV, or AVG (units).

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4118I

REDUCED SECONDARY SPACE FROM nnnn units TO nnnn

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing to add a new volume to an SMS-managed data set, there was not sufficient space to hold the secondary space on any volume in the storage group. However, the job/dsn passed the SPACSWIR FLST/RLST filtering; therefore, the allocation component reduced the original secondary space to the amount listed in the message. The message also shows the space units in which the data set was allocated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4119I

SPACPRIM SPACE REDUCTION AVOIDED. VOLSER vol1 REPLACED WITH vol2

Explanation: During SPACPRIM recovery,  was able to locate another volume (vol2) in the DFSMS storage pools to satisfy the original primary request and space reduction was avoided. When SPACPRIM recovery takes place during a catalog service call, the IDCAMS utility program can pass a SMS volume (vol1) with insufficient space in the catalog parameter list. If the global parameter SPACPRIMACS is set to YES,  will locate the volume with the largest available extent in the DFSMS storage pool(s) to recover the error. In this instance,  found another volume (vol2) with sufficient space to satisfy the original space request and SPACPRIM altered the volume in the catalog parameter list without a need to reduce the primary.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4120I

DATA SET WILL BE RECATALOGED FROM VOLUME oldVol TO VOLUME newVol

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=UNCATLG in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component recovered the data set by uncataloging the old data set on oldVol and forcing z/OS to recatalog the new data set on newVol. The job will be completed with normal return codes, but careful examination will show a RECATALOGED message for a non-SMS data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4121I

DATA SET WAS SCRATCHED ON VOLUME oldVol AND WILL BE RECATALOGED ON VOLUME newVol

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=DELETE in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component recovered the data set by deleting the old data set on oldVol and cataloging the new data set on newVol.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4122W

SCRATCH FOR DATA SET ON VOLUME volume FAILED (RC= returnCode - reasonCode - diagnosticCode)

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=DELETE in the NOCATLG2 RLST, but the allocation component was unable to scratch the old data set. The scratch returnCode, reasonCode, and diagnosticCode are displayed in the message.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support and have the return code, reason code, and diagnostic code listed in the message available.

SVM4123I

JOB name WILL BE FLUSHED

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=FLUSH in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component has set the job to flush.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4124I

CANCEL COMMAND ISSUED FOR JOB name

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=CANCEL in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component has issued the CANCEL command to cancel the job.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4125S

ENTER NOCATLG2 OPTION FOR DSN= dsn, CVOL= curVol,NVOL= newVol

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=OPER in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component has issued this SVM4125S message to ask the operator to supply the NOCATLG2 option that should be used to perform the NOCATLG2 process.

User response: This message will be followed by message SVM4155I. See the user response for that message for possible responses.

SVM4126S

NOCATLG2 NOT ALLOWED DUE TO NOCATVOL=DIFF

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=DELETE or NOCATLG2=RENAME but also specified NOCATVOL=DIFF in SMMSYSxx, which indicates that the allocation component should not perform NOCATLG2 processing if the old and new data sets have the same volume list. In this case the old and new data sets do have the same volume lists; therefore, the allocation component has terminated the recovery.

User response: Change SMMSYSxx to specify NOCATVOL=SAME, rerun the job, or correct the job and rerun.

SVM4127S

UNCATALOGED DATASET EXISTS ON TARGET VOLUME volume

Explanation: During NOCATLG2=DELETE processing, the allocation component discovered that an uncataloged data set with the same name as the data set being processed exists on the target volume. The allocation component will not delete this data set because it might not be the one the user intended to delete. The recovery will terminate.

User response: Resolve the problem with the uncataloged data set and rerun the job.

SVM4128S

NOCATLG2=UNCATLG/RENAME FOR SMS DATASET, BUT NEW ALLOCATION FAILED

Explanation: NOCATLG2=UNCATLG/RENAME was specified in the NOCATGL2 RLST, and the allocation component tried to uncatalog or rename the existing data set. However, the new data set could not be allocated for some reason. The allocation component, therefore, recataloged or renamed the original data set so that no action was taken.

User response: Determine why the new allocation failed and rerun the job.

SVM4129S

NOCATLG2=UNCATLG/DELETE/RENAME FOR SMS DATASET BUT NOCATSMS=NO

Explanation: NOCATLG2=UNCATLG/DELETE/RENAME was specified in the NOCATLG2 RLST, but NOCATSMS=NO was specified in SMMSYSxx. The allocation component will not perform any processing for these options on an SMS-managed data set unless NOCATSMS=YES is specified in SMMSYSxx.

User response: Specify NOCATSMS=YES in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member of parmlib and rerun the job.

SVM4130W

NOCATLG2=DELETE/RENAME FOR SMS DATASET BUT EXISTING DATASET IS NOT DASD

Explanation: The allocation component cannot RENAME or DELETE a tape data set.

User response: Correct the job and rerun.

SVM4131S

NOCATLG2=DELETE/RENAME BUT NEW VOLUME = OLD VOLUME. NOCATLG2 FAILED

Explanation: NOCATLG2=DELETE/RENAME was specified in the NOCATLG2 RLST, but the old and new volume are the same, and NOCATVOL=DIFF was specified in the SMMSYSxx member of parmlib. NOCATVOL=DIFF indicates that the user only wants NOCATLG2 processing to occur if the volume list for the new data set is different from the volume list for the old data set. Because in this case the volume lists are the same, the recovery is terminated.

User response: Either uncatalog the old data set and rerun the job or specify NOCATVOL=SAME in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member of parmlib and rerun the job.

SVM4132S

NOCATLG2=UNCATLG BUT NEW VOLUME = OLD VOLUME. UNCATLG2 FAILED. NOCATVOL=SAME WILL OVERRIDE

Explanation: NOCATLG2=UNCATLG was specified in the NOCATLG2 RLST, but the old and new volume are the same, and NOCATVOL=DIFF was specified in the SMMSYSxx member of parmlib. NOCATVOL=DIFF indicates that the user only wants NOCATLG2 processing to occur if the volume list for the new data set is different from the volume list for the old data set. Because in this case the volume lists are the same, the recovery is terminated.

User response: Either uncatalog the old data set and rerun the job or specify NOCATVOL=SAME in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member of parmlib and rerun the job.

SVM4133W

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF EXTENTS REACHED FOR VSAM DATASET dsn

Explanation: VSAM data sets are limited to 251-255 extents. The allocation component (StopX37/II) could not recover this data set because the maximum allowable number of extents was reached.

User response: Redefine the data set with more space.

SVM4134I

USING PRIMARY AMOUNT FOR VSAM SPACVOLA INSTEAD OF SECONDARY. VSAMPRIM=Y,DSN= dsn

Explanation: The allocation component did not set the primary space amount for candidate volumes for the VSAM data set to the amount of secondary space. This situation occurred because the user specified VSAMPRIM=Y in the SMMSYSxx member of parmlib. VSAMPRIM defaults to N, which causes the allocation component to set the primary space equal to the secondary for VSAM files so that the initial extent on new volumes will use the secondary amount instead of the VSAM standard of using the primary amount for the initial extent on new volumes. The user has overridden the default by setting VSAMPRIM=Y, which allows VSAM to operate in the standard mode.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4135I

DATA SET WILL BE RECATALOGED

Explanation: The allocation component has added another volume to a cataloged non-SMS data set. The data set will be recataloged at job termination to add the new volume to the catalog entry.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4136S

operation VOLUME FAILED FOR DSN= dsn VOL= volume (RC= returnCode - mn - reasonCode)

Explanation: StopX37/II was unable to add {or remove} (operation) the volume (volume) to {or from} the data set (dsn). The VSAM return code and reason code were returned by catalog management module IGGOCLmn as a result of a catalog error or exception condition.

User response: Examine message IDC3009I for an explanation of the return codes. Contact BMC Customer Support.

SVM4137S

NOCATLG2 FAILED FOR DSN= dsn VOL= volume (RC= returnCode - mn - reasonCode)

Explanation: The allocation component could not add the volume (volume ) to the data set (dsn). The VSAM return code and reason code were returned by catalog management module IGGOCL mn as a result of a catalog error or exception condition.

User response: Examine message IDC3009I for an explanation of the return codes. Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4138I

DATA SET HAS BEEN RECATALOGED

Explanation: The allocation component SPACVOLA processing has added another volume to a non-SMS data set and has recataloged the data set during SPACVOLA processing. The recatalog is performed during SPACVOLA processing instead of at step termination if the user specifies SCAT=IMMEDIATE in the SMMSYSxx member of parmlib.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4139S

UNCATALOG FAILED FOR DSN= dsn VOL= volume (RC= returnCode - mn - reasonCode)

Explanation: The allocation component was unable to uncatalog the data set. The return code and reason code were returned by catalog management module IGGOCL mn.

User response: Examine the catalog return code and reason code to determine why the uncatalog failed. The return code and reason code can be found in the IBM System Messages and Codes Manual under message IDC3009I.

SVM4140W

UNABLE TO RECATALOG - GDG BASE ENTRY FOUND FOR DSN= dsn

Explanation: The allocation component was attempting to perform NOCATLG2 processing for data set (dsn). However, it was discovered that a GDG base by the same name was already cataloged. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Resolve the conflict between the data set (dsn) and the GDG base and rerun the job.

SVM4141W

ALLOCATION NOT CYLS OR TRKS

Explanation: The allocation component SPACSECA processing was attempting to add a secondary space value to a VSAM data set, but the primary allocation was not in cylinders or tracks. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Allocate the data set with a secondary or change the primary allocation to use cylinders or tracks and rerun the job.

SVM4142W

SPACE ALLOCATION IS LESS THAN CA SIZE

Explanation: The allocation component SPACSECA processing was attempting to add a secondary space value to a VSAM data set, but the value calculated for the secondary space was less than the size of a control area (CA). The secondary value is calculated by multiplying the primary space amount by the percentage specified in the SPACSECA RLST. A VSAM extent cannot be smaller than the size of a CA. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Allocate the data set with a larger primary or increase the percentage specified in the SPACSECA RLST.

SVM4143W

ALLOCATION NOT CYLS OR TRKS

Explanation: The allocation component SPACSWIR processing was attempting to reduce the secondary space value for a VSAM data set during SPACVOLA processing because the new volume did not have enough space, but the data set is not allocated in tracks or cylinders. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Allocate the data set in tracks or cylinders or provide more space on the volume for the data set and rerun the job.

SVM4144W

SPACE ALLOCATION IS LESS THAN CA SIZE

Explanation: The allocation component SPACSWIR processing was attempting to reduce the secondary space value for a VSAM data set during SPACVOLA processing because the new volume did not have enough space, but the new value calculated for the secondary space was less than the size of a control area (CA). The new secondary value is calculated by multiplying the original space amount by the percentage specified in the SPACSWIR RLST. A VSAM extent cannot be smaller than the size of a CA. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Allocate the data set with a larger primary or increase the percentage specified in the SPACSECA RLST.

SVM4145W

AFTER PRIMARY REDUCTION SECONDARY SPACE EXCEEDS ORIGINAL PRIMARY SPACE VALUE

Explanation: The allocation component SPACSWIR processing was attempting to reduce the secondary space value for a VSAM data set during SPACSECA processing because the new volume did not have enough space, but the new value calculated for the secondary space exceeded the original primary, which was the value already tried, so the new value will not fit on the volume either. The new value is calculated by multiplying the secondary space amount by the percentage found in the SPACSWIR RLST. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Provide more space on the volume for the data set or increase the reduction percentage in the SPACSWIR RLST and rerun the job.

SVM4146I

NOCATLG2=NO WAS SPECIFIED IN RLST. NOCATLG2 FAILED

Explanation: NOCATLG2=NO was specified in the NOCATLG2 RLST; therefore, the allocation component did not recover the data set. The job will be completed normally for non-SMS data sets but NOT-CATLGD-2 messages will appear, and for SMS data sets, the job will fail with a JCL error. Subsequent job steps that use the catalog entry will use the old data set or will abend.

User response: If the user prefers to recover the job, the NOCATLG2 option should be changed to one that allows recovery.

SVM4147E

GETMAIN FAILED FOR WORK AREA

Explanation: An attempt to build the static area by the allocation component failed. Allocation processing is bypassed for this allocation.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4148E

GETMAIN FAILED FOR WORK AREA

Explanation: An attempt to build the static area for the  SMS RENAME/DELETE routine failed. The RENAME or DELETE operation will be terminated.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4149E

STOP-X37 STATIC CSECT NOT FOUND

Explanation: An attempt to access the static area by the  SMS RENAME/DELETE routine failed. The RENAME or DELETE operation will be terminated.

User response: Contact BMC Customer Support.

SVM4150E

INVALID COMMAND

Explanation: The  SMS RENAME/DELETE routine was passed an invalid command. The RENAME or DELETE operation will be terminated.

User response: Contact BMC Customer Support.

SVM4151W

dsn NOCATLG2 REQUEST FAILED. RECEIVED mm/dd/yy, hh:mm:ss

Explanation: The  address space (SVOS) was unable to complete a NOCATLG2=DELETE request for another address space in the time allotted (see NOCATTIM global parameter). The message provides the date (mm/dd/yy) and time (hh:mm:ss) SVOS began processing the request. If known, the name of the data set (dsn) needing NOCATLG2 recovery is also provided in the message. If the data set is not known, then '(UNKNOWN DSN?)' will be displayed in the message.

Important

If '(UNKNOWN DSN?)' is displayed in the message, this is usually a pretty good indication that SVOS did not get the request until after the requesting address space was no longer in the system.

This message typically indicates there is some other issue in the system preventing SVOS from processing the NOCATLG2=DELETE request. The date and time provided in the message might prove useful in determining potential system issues when compared to the date and time of the MODIFY command issued by the originating address space found in a SYSLOG. Below is a sample of a MODIFY command issued to SVOS for NOCATLG2 recovery:

MODIFY SVOS,'SVALLOC,RECAT,A=00F4FD00,P=7F5061B0,E=7F5061B4,
             T=000000780000000200000003007F8588'

User response: Insure the  address space (SVOS) is given high priority in the system. Additional documentation on setting time limits with the NOCATTIM global parameter can be found in the  Reference Manual.

SVM4154I

SECONDARY SPACE REQUEST WENT BELOW LIMIT

Explanation: During SPACSECR processing, attempted to reduce the secondary space amount, but the reduced amount falls below the floor limit specified in the SPACSECR RLST. The reduced amount is calculated by multiplying the original secondary space amount by the reduction percentage specified in the SPACSECR RLST. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Provide more space on the volume for the data set or lower the floor limit specified in the SPACSECR RLST.

SVM4155I

REPLY 'IGNORE', 'UNCATLG', 'DELETE', 'FLUSH', 'CANCEL', 'FAIL', OR 'RENAME'

Explanation: The user specified NOCATLG2=OPER in the NOCATLG2 RLST, and the allocation component has issued this message to ask the operator to supply the NOCATLG2 option that should be used to perform the NOCATLG2 process.

User response: Respond to the message with a valid NOCATLG2 option or IGNORE. An IGNORE response will cause NOCATLG2 processing to abort and the job will be completed with a NOCATLG2 message for non-SMS data sets and a JCL error for SMS data sets. If UNCATLG is specified, the old data set will be uncataloged and the new one will be cataloged properly. If DELETE is specified, the old data set will be scratched and the new data set will catalog properly. If RENAME is specified, the old data set will be renamed using the NOCATPFX value found in SMMSYSxx as the second-level qualifier, and the new data set will be cataloged properly. If CANCEL is specified, the job will be canceled. If FLUSH is specified, the job will be terminated with a JCL error.

SVM4156W

CANNOT NOCATLG2=RENAME/DELETE FOR DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATED DATASETS. NOCATLG2 FAILED.

Explanation: Dynamically allocated data sets cannot be processed by NOCATLG2 if NOCATLG2=RENAME/DELETE. NOCATLG2 processing terminates.

User response: No action is necessary.

Explanation:  program module failed with the indicated return code. Data Set Size Assist processing discontinues on the current data set.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4400I

VOLUME(S) ADDED - OLD VOLUME vol1, NEW VOLUME vol2 VOLUME COUNT IS nn

Explanation: SPACVOLA processing has dynamically added one or more new volumes <vol2> to the data set. Message provides the total number of volumes <nn> for the data set after a successful SPACVOLA.

Important

SPACVOLA can add more than one volume to a multistripe VSAM data set when the MULTISTRIPE global parameter is set to YES.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4401W

EXTEND FAILED FOR NONSPECIFIC SMS DATA SET

Explanation: The allocation component SPACVOLA added a new volume for the SMS-managed data set, but DFSMS failed to extend to the new volume.

Important

For SPACVOLA RECOVERY (shared VSAM), the extent number will not be displayed and DSN will be the cluster name.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4402I

COMMAND ISSUED TO START procName TO REORG DATASET AFTER SPACVOLA HAS ADDED VOLUMES

Explanation: SPACVOLA processing has issued a start command to start the procedure (procName) to copy the data set that has just had volumes added back to a single volume. This is done because the user specified REORG-Y in the SPACVOLA RLST for the data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4404I

dsn USED CANDIDATE VOLUME FOR STRIPE|S n,n,..,nn

Explanation: This message is informational to indicate a multistripe VSAM data set (dsn) extended one or more stripes to another volume.

SVM4440I

RECOVERY NOT ALLOWED FOR ABSTR ALLOCATIONS

Explanation: The data set was allocated with an absolute track address. The allocation component will not recover this data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4441I

RECOVERY NOT ALLOWED FOR CONTIG ALLOCATIONS

Explanation: The data set was allocated in a contiguous extent. The allocation component will not recover this data set.

User response: None required. If you determine that the application can process a multivolume data set, you can add a SKIP statement for the CONTIG check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=CONTIG keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set.

SVM4442I

RECOVERY NOT ALLOWED FOR VIO DEVICES

Explanation: The data set was allocated on a VIO device. The allocation component will not recover this data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4443I

RECOVERY NOT ALLOWED FOR IEHMOVE

Explanation: The allocation component cannot recover data sets being processed by IEHMOVE.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM445AI

CURRENT VOLUME NOT RESIDENT OR RESERVED

Explanation: The data set resides on a volume that is not permanently resident or reserved. The allocation component cannot perform SPACVOLA processing for this data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM445BI

PASSED DATA SET USING VOL=REF=DSNAME

Explanation: The data set was passed from another job step and uses a volume referback to another data set. The allocation component cannot perform SPACVOLA processing for this data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM445CI

SPACVOLA NOT ALLOWED. REASON = x

Explanation: The message provides one of the following reasons:

  • REASON=DATA SET IS HIERARCHICAL

    SPACVOLA cannot process a hierarchical (POSIX) data set.

  • REASON=IGYCRCTL COMPILER AND SYSUTn DATA SET

    The IBM Enterprise COBOL compiler requires SYSUT5, SYSUT6, and SYSUT7 work data sets be single volume. See topic 'Data sets used by the compiler under z/OS' in IBM Enterprise COBOL Programming Guide.

  • PROGRAM NAME IS ADRDSSU AND GUARANTEED SPACE

    The IBM ADRDSSU program does not permit volumes to be dynamically added if a data set is defined with guaranteed space. IBM recommends that users predefine candidate volumes when using program ADRDSSU and data sets using guaranteed space.

    Important

    It is possible to see different text in the above reason after 'PROGRAM NAME IS ADRDSSU AND', which would be a direct result of some error during subsystem call to DFSMS. This text should be self-explanatory. In all instances, SPACVOLA is not attempted when this message is issued. Contact BMC Customer Support if some other text than 'GUARANTEED SPACE' is seen in this reason.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4450I

SPACVOLA ALLOWED ONLY ON SEQUENTIAL DATA SETS

Explanation: SPACVOLA processing can only be performed on sequential or VSAM data sets.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4451I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: DATA SET IS NOT BEING PROCESSED SEQUENTIALLY

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the data set organization was not physical sequential.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4452I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: DATA SET BEING PROCESSED BY EXCP

Explanation: The allocation component (or StopX37/II) could not make the data set multivolume because the data set was being processed using EXCP. The allocation component cannot assume that the application can handle multivolume data sets.

User response: If the data set is IAM format, contact BMC Customer Support. Otherwise, no action is required unless the application can process a multivolume data set. In that case, add a SKIP statement for the EXCP check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=EXCP keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set.

SVM4453I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: DATA SET BEING PROCESSED USING NOTE/POINT LOGIC

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the data set was being processed using NOTE/POINT logic. The allocation component cannot assume that the application can handle multivolume data sets.

User response: None required. If you determine that the application can process a multivolume data set, you can add a SKIP statement for the NOTE check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=NOTE keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. You can use the NOCHECK=NOTE to bypass this check for DB2 log data sets because they can be multivolume.

SVM4454I

RECOVERY TERMINATED. VOLUME NOT ADDED. DISP=(NEW/MOD,KEEP)

Explanation: This error condition applies only to non-SMS managed data sets. The SPACVOLA function could not add a volume to a data set whose disposition was either (NEW,KEEP) or (MOD,KEEP). Had SPACVOLA been allowed to add a volume, the added volume would not have been cataloged. Thus, subsequent job steps in the same job, plus any other jobs running at a later time would not know about the additional volume.

User response: None required. If you determine that subsequent steps in the same job, plus any other jobs running at a later time, do not need to know about the added volume, you can add a SKIP statement for the DISP check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=DISP keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Bypassing the DISP check is not recommended.

SVM4455I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: PERMANENT DATA SET REACHED WITHOUT CATALOG. DISP=(SHR/OLD/MOD)

Explanation: This error condition applies only to non-SMS managed data sets. The SPACVOLA function could not add a volume to an existing data set (DISP=NEW not coded) because the catalog was not referenced due to the presence of VOL=SER in the JCL. Had SPACVOLA been allowed to add a volume, the added volume would not have been cataloged. Thus, subsequent job steps in the same job, plus any other jobs running at a later time would not know about the additional volume. Dynamic allocation of a data set that had been allocated earlier in the same step can also be a cause of this error. A specific example follows: A data set is allocated in JCL with DISP=NEW. Later, dynamic allocation is performed on the same data set with a disposition other than NEW. The data set is then written to using the second allocation. When SPACVOLA gets invoked, it sees the allocation control blocks associated with the second allocation and therefore sees a data set that is not cataloged and whose disposition is not NEW.

User response: None required. If you determine that subsequent steps in the same job, plus any other jobs running at a later time, do not need to know about the added volume, you can add a SKIP statement for the DISP check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=DISP keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Bypassing the DISP check is not recommended.

SVM4456I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: DATA SET IS ON MASS STORAGE VOLUME

Explanation: The allocation component cannot perform SPACVOLA processing on data sets that are on MSS devices.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4458I

AUTOMATIC RESTART CODED

Explanation: The allocation component cannot perform SPACVOLA processing on data sets that use automatic restart processing.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4459I

DATA SET PART OF CONCATENATION

Explanation: The DD statement concatenates data sets. The allocation component cannot perform SPACVOLA processing on data sets that are concatenated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4460I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: TWO DDNAMES REFERENCING SAME DATA SET

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the data set was being referenced by two DD names. If SPACVOLA processing added another volume, the JFCB for the other DD would not contain the new volume. If this data set is a VSAM data set, StopX37/II was unable to add a volume because global parameter SHARED_VSAM is set to NO.

User response: If you determine that the application can process a multivolume data set, you can add a SKIP statement for the DSNAME check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=DSNAME keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. For VSAM data sets, setting global SHARED_VSAM=YES in active SMMSYSxx member will permit StopX37/II to perform SPACVOLA for all VSAM data sets being shared.

SVM4461I

DATA SET/SPECIFIC REQUEST USED IN ANOTHER STEP

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the same data set was referenced in another job step with a volume serial coded in the JCL (VOL=SER=). If SPACVOLA processing added another volume, the new volume would not be picked up by the later step.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4462I

DATA SET/VOL=REF REQUEST USED IN ANOTHER STEP

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the same data set was referenced in another job step with a volume referback in the JCL (VOL=REF=). If SPACVOLA processing added another volume, the new volume would not be picked up by the later step.

User response: No action is required.

SVM4463I

DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the same permanent data set is referenced by another job that is running. If SPACVOLA processing added another volume, the new volume would not be picked up by the other job.

User response: If you determine that the application can process a multivolume data set, you can add a SKIP statement for the ENQ check in the appropriate SMMSYSxx member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set. Alternatively, you can add a NOCHECK=ENQ keyword to the active RLST member for the SPACVOLA function to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set.

SVM4464I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: GLOBAL SHARED_VSAM=NO AND VSAM DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB

Explanation: StopX37/II could not add a volume to a VSAM data set because it is referenced by another job and global parameter SHARED_VSAM is set to NO in active SMMSYSxx member.

User response: Setting global parameter SHARED_VSAM=YES in the active SMMSYSxx allows StopX37/II to perform the SPACVOLA. Alternatively, a NOCHECK=ENQ keyword can be added to the active SPACVOLA RLST member to allow SPACVOLA to recover the data set.

SVM4469W

storeGroup STORAGE GROUP IS DISABLED, RECOVERY TERMINATED

Explanation: StopX37/II could not add a volume to a SMS-managed data set because DFSMS storage group storeGroup is either in DISNEW or DISALL status. The SPACVOLA recovery is terminated.

User response: Change the status of the DFSMS storage group to enable use of pooled volumes. Refer to the IBM DFSMS Storage Administration Reference Manual for further information on DFSMS storage group status.

SVM4470I

SVM4490I

SPACSWIR REDUCED INITIAL ALLOC ON CANDIDATE VOLUME DOWN TO MAX ALLOWED.

Explanation: A data set extended to a new (candidate) volume. However, the secondary value that was specified in the JCL (which is used for the first allocation made on the new volume), exceeds the maximum value that is allowed for this data set type, which is 65,535 tracks. SPACSWIR reduces the secondary value to either 4369 cylinders or 65,535 tracks, depending on whether the original allocation was in cylinders or tracks. This message should be followed by the SVM4801I message to indicate the reduced secondary amount.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4491I

DATA SET HAS REACHED MAXIMUM SPACE ALLOWED ON VOLUME (65,535 TRKS)

Explanation: SPACSECR was unable to reduce the secondary amount a sequential data set defined without extended attributes because it already occupied the maximum space allowed on a volume (65,535 TRKS).  will attempt SPACVOLA for the data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4500I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: NO VOLUMES AVAILABLE FOR SPACVOLA

Explanation: The allocation component could not perform SPACVOLA processing because none of the volumes provided in the SPACVOLA RLST VOLSER list had the correct unit type, or the secondary space allocation would not fit in one extent on any eligible volume in the VOLSER list.

User response: Making the job/dsn eligible for SPACSECR or SPACSWIR processing or both in the appropriate FLST/RLSTs could alleviate this problem.

SVM4501I

NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON VOLUME volume

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; however, because OPER=YES was also specified in the SPACVOLA RLST, the operator was prompted to select a volume, but the volume selected also did not contain enough space for the secondary to be obtained in one extent.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that does not contain enough space.

If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4502I

VOLUME volume NOT WITHIN DEVICE GROUP

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; however, because OPER=YES was also specified in the SPACVOLA RLST, the operator was prompted to select a volume, but the volume selected was not found the same generic group. This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that is not found in the same generic group.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4503I

ENTER SPACVOLA OPTION FOR DSN=dsn, VOLSER=volser

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; however, because OPER=YES was also specified in the SPACVOLA RLST, the operator is being prompted by this message to supply a volume for SPACVOLA processing.

User response: If the operator responds with a volume name, the allocation component will determine if the volume can be used. If the volume cannot be used, the operator will be prompted for another volume. The operator can also wait for more disk space to be available on one or more of the volumes in the SPACVOLA RLST VOLSER list and reply retry, which will cause the allocation component to retry all of the volumes in the VOLSER list looking for an eligible one with enough space. If the operator replies ignore, the process terminates the recovery and the job will fail.

SVM4506S

Explanation: The specified volume is held by some other job.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4518I

DATA SET ALREADY EXISTS ON VOLUME volume

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; however, because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided already has a data set on it with the same name as the data set being recovered.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that already has a data set by the same name on it.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4519I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: DADSM EXIT REJECTED REQUEST

Explanation: The allocation component could not make the data set multivolume because the installation's DADSM exit (IGGPRE00) would reject the allocation on the new volume.

User response: The installation's DADSM exit could be modified to allow the allocation on the new volume. Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4520I

DATA SET ALREADY USES VOLUME volume

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; however, because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided has already been used by the data set being recovered.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that has already been used by the data set.

If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4521S

GETMAIN FAILED FOR CATALOG WORK AREA

Explanation: The allocation component could not obtain storage for internal work areas. Control was returned to VSAM.

User response: The abending job was extremely short on virtual storage. The REGION parameter should probably be increased.

SVM4522S

LOCATE FAILED FOR DSN dsn (RC=returnCode - reasonCode)

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing for a VSAM file, the allocation component issued a LOCATE to obtain the current volume list that the data set resides on, but the LOCATE request failed. The recovery is terminated.

User response: The LOCATE return and reason codes are provided in the message. Contact BMC Software Customer Support and have the return and reason codes available.

SVM4523S

NO VOLUMES RETURNED BY LOCATE

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing for a VSAM file, the allocation component issued a LOCATE to obtain the current volume list that the data set resides on; the LOCATE request was successful but returned an empty volume list. The recovery is terminated.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4575S

GETMAIN FOR UNIT VERIFICATION ROUTINE FAILED

Explanation: The allocation component could not obtain storage for the UCB list.

User response: The abending job was extremely short on virtual storage. The REGION parameter should probably be increased.

SVM4576S

EDTINFO MACRO FAILURE FOR UNIT=xxxxxxxx. RC=nn RS=nn

Explanation: StopX37/II encountered unexpected return (RC=) and reason (RS=) codes when obtaining the UCB list for a specified unit (UNIT=), causing the SPACVOLA process to fail.

Important

The EDTINFO macro is used when the VOLSER= parameter is specified in a SPACVOLA RLST rule.

User response: Report this error message to BMC Software Customer Support. You might be able to work around the error by doing one of the following actions:

  • If the UNIT name (xxxxxxxx) displayed in the message does not appear to be correct, customer can try specifying the correct unit name (UNIT=) in the same SPACVOLA RLST rule. The unit name must be in the EDT (eligible device table).

Example: SET SPACVOLA=5 VOLSER=(VOL001,VOL002) UNIT=3390

  • Define a new POOL with the volsers specified in existing SPACVOLA RLST rule. Remove the VOLSER= parameter from the SPACVOLA rule and qualify the data set for the new pool with DASDPOOL, which allows DASDPOOL to make the volume selection during SPACVOLA processing.
Warning

Using DASDPOOL for a data set will also override volume selection during the original allocation of the data set.

SVM458CS

VOLUME volume WAS NOT IN RLST VOLSER LIST

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST provides a volume list to use to pick a volume to add during SPACVOLA processing. When FLST/RLST tracing is active, this message will appear once for every volume in the generic group that is not also in the VOLSER list.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM458DS

Explanation: The volume was not used by SPACVOLA because the mount type did not match the MNTYPE setting on the SPACVOLA RLST SET statement.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4581S

VOLUME volume IS NOT CORRECT DEVICE TYPE

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided was not of a similar device type.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that is not of a similar device type.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4582S

VOLUME volume IS CONTROLLED BY JES3

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided is controlled by JES3.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that is a JES3 controlled volume.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4583S

VOLUME volume NOT RESERVED OR PERMANENTLY RESIDENT

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided is not reserved or permanently resident.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that is not reserved or permanently resident.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4584S

VOLUME volume NOT ONLINE

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided is not currently online.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that is not currently online.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4585S

VOLUME volume IS CHANGING STATUS

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided is currently changing status; probably waiting to go offline.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that is currently changing status.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4586S

VOLUME volume IS SMS MANAGED

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided is SMS managed and the data set currently resides on a non-SMS volumes.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list is an SMS managed volume.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.

SVM4587S

VOLUME volume HAS WRONG DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided has different device characteristics than the volumes on which the data set already resides. This situration is usually because the data set is already on a cached device and the selected device is not cached. The reverse situation will cause the same message to appear.

Important

This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that has different device characteristics.

User response: If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume. If you determine that it is acceptable to add volumes with different device characteristics, you can add a SKIP statement with the DC option in SMMSYSxx to bypass this check or add the NOCHECK=DC operand to the SPACVOLA RLST.

SVM4600S

ALLOCATION FAILED FOR volid, R15=r15, ERROR RC=returnCode, INFORMATION RC=returnCode

Explanation: The allocation component was attempting to dynamically allocate to another volume (volid), but the DYNALLOC SVC failed. For further information consult SPL: SUPERVISOR SERVICES MACROS.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4601I

RECOVERY TERMINATED: DATA SET EXISTS ON MAXIMUM VOLUMES

Explanation: The allocation component uses the MAXVOL keyword found in SMMSYSxx (global) or the SPACVOLA operand in the SPACVOLA RLST (local) to determine how many volumes the data set can reside on. In this case the data set already resides on the maximum number of volumes specified in one of these places.

User response: If more volumes are required, increase the MAXVOL or SPACVOLA operand and rerun the job.

SVM4602E

EXCEEDED RETRY LIMIT ON ENQUEUE OF SYSZTIOT RESOURCE - SPACVOLA FAILS.

Explanation: Another task within the address space had enqueue on the SYSZTIOT resource, preventing SPACVOLA from continuing. SPACVOLA will attempt to obtain the SYSZTIOT resource after a one-second wait, allowing the other task to release the resource. SPACVOLA will attempt to retry the enqueue up to twenty seconds before failing.

User response: This problem is typically seen when using a program that invokes SPACVOLA under multiple TCBs (such as a utility program used to REORG multiple VSAM data sets). The problem is usually corrected by rerunning the job. If the problem persists, you can try one or more of the following:

  1. Alter the allocation sizes (primary and/or secondary) of the data set
  2. Use SPACSECR recovery for the data set
  3. Use SPACSECI recovery for the data set
  4. Provide more volumes during allocation of the data set

SVM4603E

UNEXPECTED ERROR DURING ENQUEUE OF SYSZTIOT RESOURCE - SPACVOLA FAILS.

Explanation: An unexpected error occurred when performing enqueue of SYSZTIOT resource. SPACVOLA fails.

User response: Issue F SVOSJOB,SVOS T,MSGID,DMP console command to capture a dump next time this message is issued. Contact BMC Software support and send in the dump. (Issue F SVOSJOB,SVOS T,MSGID,NDMP console command to reverse this setting and allow this message to display without capturing a dump.)

SVM4604E

EOV INVOKED FOR A NON-VSAM DATA SET DURING CLOSE - SPACVOLA FAILS

Explanation: A request for more space (EOV processing) was made for a non-VSAM data set while the data set was being CLOSED. SPACVOLA was unable to acquire exclusive control of the SYSZTIOT resource and failed. This message requires the following 'perfect storm' scenario:

  1. CLOSE processing has begun for the data set
  2. CLOSE needs to write remaining data in the data set buffer
  3. That write requires more space for the data set (EOV)
  4. SPACVOLA is unable to acquire exclusive control of the SYSZTIOT resource to add a volume

User response: This is a very unusual problem and typically seen when using a program that invokes SPACVOLA under multiple TCBs (such as a utility program used to REORG multiple VSAM data sets). The problem is usually corrected by rerunning the job. If the problem persists, you can try one or more of the following:

  1. Alter the allocation sizes (primary and/or secondary) of the data set
  2. Use SPACSECR recovery for the data set
  3. Use SPACSECI recovery for the data set
  4. Provide more volumes during allocation of the data set

SVM4700S

SCAN FOR NEW ALLOCATION FAILED

Explanation: The allocation component dynamically allocated to another volume but could not locate the returned DDNAME in the TIOT.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4701S

GETMAIN FOR NEW VDT FAILED

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing, a GETMAIN failed attempting to build a new VDT control block.

User response: Try rerunning the job with a larger region size. If that also fails, contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4801I

REDUCED SPACE FROM orgaunits TO newa

Explanation: The allocation component has reduced the secondary space allocation from the original allocation (orga) to the largest extent on the volume (newa). The allocation was requested in units of CYL, TRK, BLK, MAV, KAV, or AVG (units).The secondary space allocation has not been permanently changed.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4802I

NO AVAILABLE VOLUMES IN STORAGE GROUP

Explanation: This message can be issued when attempting to allocate another volume to an existing SMS data set, or when allocating a new SMS data set. If allocating to an existing SMS data set: The secondary space request exceeded the available space on the remaining volumes in the storage group and any extended storage group(s). The SPACSWIR function was either not active for the data set, or the available space went below the SPACSWIR floor limit. If allocating a new SMS data set: There were no volumes available in the storage group(s) for the allocation.

User response: If the message is displayed for an existing SMS data set: Activate the SPACSWIR function in  and set the SPACSWIR floor percentage to fit on the available space in the storage group. Using a SPACSWIR floor setting of 0 is recommended.

Example

SPACSWIR=(0,10)

If the message is displayed for a new SMS data set: Make sure the volumes in the storage group(s) are enabled and online for new allocations. Users of the SMSSELCT function in the BMC AMI Storage Allocationproduct might also need to check if the data set qualifies for pooling in SMSSELCT. When specifying pools for a new SMS allocation with SMSSELCT, you should ensure there are pool volumes that also reside in the available storage group(s) for the allocation. Otherwise, the SMS allocation will fail.


SVM4804W

MULTI STRIPE DATA SET CANNOT SWITCH AND HAS 123 EXTENTS

Explanation: The multistripe data set that is being recovered has already used the maximum 123 extents, and z/OS cannot process an additional volume that is dynamically added to a multistriped data set. The recovery is terminated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4805W

TEMPORARY STRIPE DATA SET CANNOT SWITCH AND HAS 123 EXTENTS

Explanation: The temporary striped data set that is being recovered has already used the maximum 123 extents, and z/OS cannot process an additional volume that is dynamically added to a temporary striped data set. The recovery is terminated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4806W

VOLUME FULL AND MULTI STRIPE DATA SET CANNOT SWITCH

Explanation: The multistripe data set that is being recovered is on a volume that is full, and z/OS cannot process an additional volume that is dynamically added to a multistripe data set. The recovery is terminated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4807W

VOLUME FULL AND TEMPORARY STRIPE DATA SET CANNOT SWITCH

Explanation: The temporary striped data set that is being recovered is on a volume that is full, and z/OS cannot process an additional volume that is dynamically added to a temporary striped data set. The recovery is terminated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4808W

SECONDARY REDUCTION WENT TO 0 FOR MULTI STRIPE DATA SET

Explanation: The allocation component attempted to reduce the secondary space amount for a multistripe data set, but the amount was reduced to zero before the allocation would fit on the volume, and z/OS cannot process an additional volume that is dynamically added to a temporary striped data set. The secondary reduction is performed by multiplying the original secondary space amount by the reduction percentage in the SPACSECR RLST. The recovery is terminated.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4809I

dsn REACHED MAX EXTENTS ON VOLSER volser

Explanation: StopX37/II attempted to reduce the secondary space amount for a VSAM data set. The data set has reached the maximum number of allowable extents (123 for VSAM data sets) on an individual volume.

User response: None. This message is for information only, which should be followed by the SVM4000I message when FLST/RLST rules permit.

SVM4810I

CANNOT SPACVOLA dsnIDCAMS AND PSE COMPRESSED

Explanation: During SPACVOLA processing, StopX37/II detected that IDCAMS REPRO was writing to a PSE Compressed data set. REPRO cannot tolerate volume adds when the output data set is PSE Compressed. Because data loss could occur if a volume was added, SPACVOLA processing is instead bypassed for the data set.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4811W

UNABLE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CANDIDATE VOLUMES FOR A MULTISTRIPE VSAM DATA SET

Explanation: StopX37/II was attempting to recover a NO SPACE condition with SPACVOLA for a multistripe VSAM data set and one of the following conditions occurred:

  1. There were already enough candidate volumes to satisfy the number of stripes, indicating that the storage group was low on available space.
  2. A SPACSECR reduction failed after SPACVOLA had already added the maximum volumes that were allowed in the qualifying SPACVOLA rule.
  3. There was already one candidate volume available, and the MULTISTRIPE global parameter was set to NO.
  4. There was already one candidate volume available, and the corrective fix for OA25909 was not applied to IBM module IDA0557G.

    Important

    Prior to 0A25909, VSAM EOV recovery for a multistripe VSAM data set could potentially corrupt volume entries when more than one candidate volume is available and the extend fails. If OA25909 corrective fix is not applied to the system StopX37/II will add only one volume to a multistripe VSAM data set.

User response: Condition 1: Provide more available space in the DFSMS storage group. Condition 2: Increase the SPACVOLA maximum volume limit in the qualifying SPAVOLA RLST rule. Condition 3: Set MULTISTRIPE=YES in the SMMSYSxx BBPARM member and refresh the member. Condition 4: Apply the corrective fix for IBM APAR OA25909.

SVM4812I

count DIRECTORY BLOCKS SUCCESSFULLY ADDED TO dsn

Explanation: This message notes that the StopX37/II PDSDIRAD function successfully recovered a PDS that encountered a SB14 abend (directory out-of-space). count (which has a default of 1) notes the number of directory blocks added to the PDS. dsn notes the PDS that was recovered. Processing continues.

User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4813W

dsn DIRECTORY WAS NOT EXPANDED. RC=returnCode, RS=reasonCode, ERROR=errorDesc

Explanation: This message notes that the StopX37/II PDSDIRAD function could not successfully recover a PDS that encountered an SB14 abend (directory out-of-space). dsn notes the PDS that could not be recovered. returnCode and reasonCode note the internal return and reason codes of the PDSDIRAD function process. errorDesc is a 50-byte description of the error. There are several environmental checks performed on the PDS that could prohibit recovery. These checks include:

  • DIRECTORY EXPANSION WOULD EXCEED 1ST EXTENT

    Expanding the PDS directory would cause the directory to exceed the size of the 1st extent. A PDS directory must totally reside in the first extent.

  • EXCLUSIVE SYSDSN ENQ CANNOT BE OBTAINED

    Exclusive control of the PDS cannot be obtained (qname=SYSDSN, rname=PDS name). If the PDS is being used by another process, expansion of the PDS directory could cause unpredictable results to the process.

  • PDS IS OUT OF EXTENTS

    A new extent was needed in order to expand the PDS directory; however, either the PDS is at end-of-extents or the volume does not have the space to create a new extent.

  • PDS IS UNMOVABLE

    Member movement is required to expand the PDS directory; however, the PDS is an unmovable data set. Member movement is not performed due to the possibility of the members containing location-dependent data.

Processing terminates.User response: If errorDesc is not one of the environmental message listed here, contact BMC Customer Support.

SVM4814W

SYSPRINT IN USE BY SVOS 


Explanation: The SRDF/A data retrieval process allocates SYSPRINT. Therefore, it cannot be in use by any other SVOS process at the time the ESRDFA view is invoked. It also cannot be hard coded in the SVOS PROC. This message will display if SYSPRINT is coded in the SVOS PROC, if a previous invocation of the ESRDFA view is still processing, or another SVOS process is using SYSPRINT.

User response: If SYSPRINT is coded in the SVOS PROC, rename SYSPRINT to DISPRINT in the SVOS PROC and recycle SVOS. If it is not found in the SVOS PROC, SYSPRINT is in use by a previous invocation of ESRDFA, or by some other process in SVOS. In this instance, invoke the ESRDFA view at a later time.    

EMC subsystem command character not found                            


Explanation: The SRDF/A data retrieval process utilizes the EMC subsystem command characters. SVOS attempted to locate the command characters in the Subsystem Communications Vector Table but was unable to find the correct control block. Check if the started task that executes program EMCSTC is active. If not, start the task and retry the view. If it is active, enter the command character(s) defined in the PARMLIB member used by the EMCSTC program into the EMC_CMDPRFX= parameter in the SMMSYSxx member of the SVOS started task. Then refresh the SMMSYSxx member and retry the view.    

User response: If the problem persists, contact BMC Customer Support.                

No EMC boxes found                                                    


Explanation: In the process of displaying the view information EMC boxes could not be found. If EMC boxes are displayed in the Configuration view, then retry this view. If EMC boxes are not displayed in the Configuration view, then they are unavailable.                                       

User response:  If the problem persists, contact BMC Customer Support.     

Box @@@@@@@@@@@@ not found in EMC box table                           


Explanation: The selected EMC box was not found the box table created by the data retrieval process. If the selected box is an EMC box and is displayed in the Configuration view, retry the view.                            

User response: If the problem persists, contact BMC Customer Support.                

No records Returned                                                   


Explanation: The SRDFA command was executed against devices selected and no SRDF/A data was returned from the command. The SNAP DD output in the SVOS address space contains the SRDFA commands entered under the title SRDFA CMD TABLE.  

User response:  If you believe the result of the command is in error contact BMC Customer Support. 

UNABLE TO LOCATE REQUESTED SUBSYSTEM                                 

                                                                     

Explanation: The EMC subsystem is either not active or the command characters used in the SRDFA command issued by SVOS are incorrect. Ensure the address space executing EMCSTC is running. If it is, compare the EMC_CMDPRFX  parameter defined in the SVOS SMMSYSxx PARMLIB member with the EMC subsystem command characters displayed in the message "EMCIN03I EMC SUBSYSTEM USING COMMAND PREFIX" located in the EMC address space. If they do not match, update the EMC_CMDPRFX parameter, refresh the SMMSYSxx member and try the view again.                  

User response:  If you believe the result of the command is in error contact BMC Customer Support.

Explanation: When the system was attempting to obtain another extent for the data set, the allocation component tried to read the DSCB information from the VTOC. The request failed.

User response: Contact BMC Software Customer Support.

SVM4906S

NO FREE DSCBS ON VOLUME volume

Explanation: The VOLSER list found in the SPACVOLA RLST did not provide an eligible volume with enough space for the secondary space amount to fit in one extent; however, because OPER=YES was also specified, the operator was prompted to select a volume for SPACVOLA processing; however, the volume provided has no more DSCBs and cannot be used. This message will also be issued if the user has FLST/RLST tracing turned on. In that case the message will appear once for every volume in the VOLSER list that has no more DSCBs.

Important

If the operator is providing the candidate volumes, the operator will be prompted for another volume.


User response: No action is necessary.

SVM4921S

SMS VOLUMES IN STORAGE GROUP ARE FULL

Explanation: While attempting to add a volume for a data set, there was insufficient space on any volume in the storage group to allow the SMS VSAM data set to extend. SPACSWIR processing is terminated.

User response: Reducing the SPACSWIR floor percentage for the data set may allow the new extent to fit on another storage group volume. Otherwise, free up space within the storage group to allow the data set to extend.

SVM4922S

EXTENT WILL EXCEED THE 4GB LIMIT

Explanation: This message indicates a new extent will cause a VSAM data set to exceed the 4GB limit. SPACSWIR processing is terminated.

User response: Reducing the SPACSWIR floor percentage for the data set may allow the new extent to fit within the 4GB limit. Otherwise, verify if the VSAM data set requires reorganization to allow the data set to extend.
