FDR Console Messages and TSO Terminal Messages

CONFIRM REQUEST TO ABSOLUTE TRACK RESTORE UNIT=unit, VOL=vol,JOB=job

Explanation: The job “job” wishes to do an absolute track restore to volume “vol” on the DASD device “unit”.

Action: Reply “YES” – Operator approves request to restore.

Reply “NO” – Operator does not approve the restore request; the restore is terminated.

CONFIRM REQUEST TO CONTINUE BACKUP - PREVIOUS INSTANT BACKUP FOR vol WILL BE LOST. REPLY YES OR NO.

Explanation: This form of FDRW02 is issued by FDRINSTANT. You have done a SNAP or SPLIT operation for volume “vol” but you have not yet executed the ABR DUMP with SNAP=USE or BCV=USE to move the backup to tape, and you are trying to execute another SNAP or SPLIT. If you specify the operand CONFMESS=NO on the SNAP or SPLIT statement, then FDR overlays backup image on DASD unconditionally, and issue message FDR230 with REASON=P.

Action: Reply “YES” – Operator approves request to backup. The backup already on the SNAP target volume or BCV is lost.

Reply “NO” – The backup is terminated.

INSTANT BACKUP FOR vol ON SNAPUNIT=uuuu IS IN-USE. REPLY “RETRY” OR “CANCEL”

Explanation: This form of FDRW02 is issued by FDRINSTANT. You have done a SNAP or SPLIT operation for volume “vol” but the ABR DUMP with SNAP=USE or BCV=USE to move the backup to tape or a restore job is still executing, and you are trying to execute another SNAP or SPLIT.

Action: Reply “RETRY” – When you believe the backup is longer in use. If it is still busy, the message is reissued.

Reply “CANCEL” – The backup is terminated.

dsn DATE PROTECTED--REPLY YES OR NO TO RESTORE VOL=vol

Explanation: A data set restore has been requested for data set “dsn” on volume “vol”. The output data set is preallocated and has an expiration date that has not been reached. If you wish to suppress this message and automatically do the restore, specify EXPD=NONE on the RESTORE statement.

Action: Reply “YES” – Operator approves request to restore.

Reply “NO” – Operator does not approve the restore request; the restore is terminated

FULL VOLUME RESTORE COMPLETED - UNIT=uuuu SHOULD BE REMOUNTED ON OTHER SYSTEMS

Explanation: A full volume restore was completed on the DASD device “uuuu” that is marked as “Shared DASD” in your I/O configuration. FDR has determined that the restore changed the volume serial and/or the VTOC location on the output volume. FDR has made the necessary changes on the system where the restore was run, but if other CPUs access the DASD, they do not know of this change and may not process this volume properly.

Action: Normally all other systems should make this device offline prior to the restore, especially if the volume serial or VTOC changes. This message indicates that you may now remount the volume on the other systems; vary it OFFLINE if not already offline, then vary it ONLINE.

DISK UNIT=unit VOL=vol HAS BEEN RELABELED TO VOL=nvol

Explanation: DASD device “unit” has been restored. Its original volume serial was “vol” but the restore has changed the volume serial to “nvol”.

DISK UNIT=unit VOL=vol NOW OFFLINE - DUPLICATE VOLSER

Explanation: DASD device “unit” has been restored. The restore has changed the volume serial to “vol”, which matches the volume serial number of another online volume (probably the original volume).

Action: FDR sets DASD device “unit” offline.

FDRDRP COULD USE ADDITIONAL type TAPE DRIVES; PLEASE VARY SOME ONLINE IF AVAILABLE.

Explanation: A FDRDRP restore has not reached its limit of active tape drives (MAXTAPES=) but no additional drives of the needed type are online.

Action: Vary one or more tape drives online. After a few moments, FDRDRP begins to use them.

FDRW22

DSN dsn PASSWORD PROTECTED

Explanation: Data set “dsn” is password protected and is being backed up or restored. This refers to old OS password protection for non-VSAM data sets and VSAM password protection for VSAM. It does not refer to security systems like IBM RACF.

Action: To continue processing the operator must reply to the appropriate z/OS password message.

DSN dsn DATE PROTECTED REPLY YES OR NO FOR ARCHIVE

Explanation: Non-VSAM data set “dsn” was selected for Archive or Superscratch, but the data set has an expiration date that has not been reached. If you wish to suppress this message and automatically select the data set, specify EXPD=NONE on the DUMP statement.

Action: Reply “YES” – Archive and/or scratch the data set.

Reply “NO” – DO NOT select the data set.

FDRABR REQUEST FOR TAPES - vol... REPLY YES NO OR BYPASS

Explanation: The OPERATOR operand was specified on a RESTORE statement. A restore of a data set was requested from the backup volumes “vol…”.

Action: Reply “YES” – You have the volumes available.

Reply “NO” – You do not have the volumes available, or do not wish to mount them at this time. The restore is canceled.

Reply “BYPASS” – same as NO.

ABR REQUEST FOR TAPES(nn) vol... REPLY YES NO OR BYPASS(nn)

Explanation: The OPERATOR operand was specified on a RESTORE statement for a full-volume ABR RESTORE. Message FDRW25 is repeated for each ABR Volume Backup that is used during the restore; each line shows the ABR Cycle number “nn” followed by the volume serials of the backups “vol…” required for that cycle.

Action: Reply “YES” – All of the volumes are available.

Reply “NO” – All or some volumes are not available. The restore request is canceled.

Reply “BYPASS(nn)” – The tapes shown for cycle “nn” are not be used during the restore. “nn” may be any cycle that was listed, except cycle zero (the full volume backup). After a reply of “BYPASS(nn)”, the message is reissued so that additional backups can be bypassed. When all desired backups to be bypassed have been specified, reply “YES”. Data sets whose latest backup was on the cycles that you bypassed are probably not correctly restored.

FDRW26

INVALID RESPONSE REPLY YES NO OR BYPASS(nn)

Explanation: The operator reply to message FDRW25 was invalid. Either, the operator reply was an invalid keyword, the cycle number was invalid or did not exist, or the cycle number was zero.

Action: Give a proper response to the message.

REPLY WAIT, NOWAIT, OR RETRY FOR ENQ WAIT ON DSN=dsname

Explanation: An FDR job specified DSNENQ=HAVE. Data set “dsname” is currently enqueued to another job.

Action: Reply “WAIT” – FDR waits for the data set to become available. The job could time out if the enqueue is not released in a short time.

Reply “NOWAIT” – FDR issues an FDR158 warning message for the data set.

• For DUMP, the data set is dumped unless ENQERR=BYPASS is specified.
• For Archive or Superscratch, the data set is bypassed.
• For RESTORE, the data set is bypassed.
• For COMPAKTOR, the data set is made unmovable.

Reply “RETRY” – FDR retries the enqueue. If it is still not available, message FDRW27 is re-issued.

FDR function WAITING ON TAPE VOL=vol REPLY NO TO CANCEL

Explanation: An FDR restore process needs a tape that is being used by another job.

Action: None necessary unless you want to cancel the restore function.

FDRW30

FDR ZEDC COMPRESSION ERROR. FPZ4ABC RC=X’rc’ RS=’rs’

Explanation: This message is issued when the return code returned from calling the FPZ4ABC zEDC compression service is non zero. The meanings of the return code and reason code combinations can be found in the z/OS MVS Programming: Callable Services for High-Level Languages manual. Common rc / rs combinations are:

00000008 / 00000000

No zEDC devices are available.

00000010 / 00001203

There are no zEDC devices available.

Action: The z/OS DISPLAY command can be used to check zEDC availability:

D PROD,REG,FEATURENAME(ZEDC)

FDRW40

MODULE modn INSTALLED AT addr -- VER v.r

Explanation: The message is issued in response to a status request when the FDR operating system exit module “modn” is installed in the system. “addr” is the virtual storage location of that module. The version number of the module is also given.

FDR GLOBAL OPTIONS LOADED AT hh:ss ON yy.ddd FROM VOL=vol DSN=loadlib

Explanation: The message is issued when an FDR operating system exit is installed or in response to a status request. It shows the when the memory-resident copy of the FDR option table (FDROPT) was loaded and from which load library.

THE FDR SYSTEM MODULES ARE status -- VER nn type

Explanation: This message is issued by FDRSTART or FDRSTATS when the FDR operating system exit modules are installed in the system.

The “status” of the modules may be:

ACTIVE

On the first execution of FDRSTART or on executions of FDRSTATS;

RE-ACTIVATED

On executions of FDRSTART where an FDR operating system exit module was re-activated.

REFRESHED

On subsequent executions of FDRSTART where the copy of the FDR Global Options module in global storage was refreshed.

This message includes the version “nn” and release level of the modules installed.

“type” indicates:

PROD

For production exits.

TEST

For test exits (the JOBNAME= or JOBGROUP= that uses the test exists is also displayed).

FDRW42

THE FDR SYSTEM MODULES ARE status type

Explanation: This message is issued by FDRPARE or FDRSTATS when the FDR operating system exit modules are disabled. This message is also issued by FDRSTART when activating or replacing the operating system exit modules.

The “status” of the modules may be:

NOT ACTIVE

When the ABR operating system exit modules are not installed in the system.

INACTIVE

When the ABR operating system exit modules are installed in the system but are disabled, that is, not processing any requests.

REPLACED

When the ABR operating system exit modules have been replaced by running the FDRSTART program with the “REPLACE” parm.

ACTIVE

When the ABR operating system exit modules are installed.

RE-ACTIVATED

When the ABR operating system exit modules that were INACTIVE have been enabled so they process requests.

DE-INSTALLED

When the ABR operating system exit modules are removed.

“type” indicates:

PROD

For production exits.

TEST

For test exits (the JOBNAME= or JOBGROUP= that uses the test exists is also displayed).

FDRW44

FDRW46

FDRW48

INVALID REPLY -- PLEASE REPLY YES OR NO

INVALID REPLY -- PLEASE REPLY RETRY OR CANCEL

Explanation: The reply to the previous message was invalid.

Action: The message is reissued. Reply “YES”, “NO”, “RETRY”, or “CANCEL” as indicated in the message.

FDRW49

PLEASE ENTER THE FULLY QUALIFIED FDR libname DATA SET NAME

Explanation: The TSO allocation CLIST ABRALLOC was unable to allocate one of the FDR ISPF libraries whose name is stored in the CLIST. “libname” indicates the library that was not found.

Action: If the FDR ISPF library names have changed, please enter the correct data set name for the library. You should also update the ABRALLOC CLIST with the correct names (see FDR-Installation).

TSO RESTORE FAILURE -- DSN=dsn

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit was attempting to restore the data set “dsn” in the foreground under TSO and the restore failed. This is accompanied by another message detailing the cause of the restore failure and either FDRW51 or FDRW52 if retry of failing TSO foreground restores is enabled.

RESTORE WILL BE ATTEMPTED IN THE BACKGROUND

Explanation: See FDRW50. The installation has enabled retry of failing foreground recalls in the background (LXFGERR=BG), so the recall is attempted as a background task.

RESTORE REQUEST WILL BE PLACED INTO THE REMOTE QUEUE

Explanation: See FDRW50. The installation has enabled retry of failing foreground recalls via the remote queue (LXFGERR=RQ), so the recall is added to the Archive Restore remote queue for later processing.

FDRW53

desc TASK LIMIT REACHED -- action

Explanation: The installation has enabled options LXMAXSTC=nnn and/or LXMAXREC=nnn (ISPF panel A.I.4.11.3) to limit the number of auto recall started tasks or the total number of auto recall tasks or both. “desc” may be either “RECALL STARTED” or “TOTAL RECALL” depending on what limit was exceeded. “action” may be:

REPLY ‘WAIT’ OR ‘CANCEL’

If the recall is for a TSO user.

WILL WAIT

For all other environments.

Action: The TSO user can reply with “WAIT” to wait for the current recalls to drop below the limit or “CANCEL” to abort the recall. Non-TSO recalls automatically wait for the recalls to drop below the limit; the message is informative.

FDRW54

FDRW55

SYNCHRONOUS RESTORE SERVICE NOT ENABLED – NOWAIT SUBSTITUTED

Explanation: A synchronous recall was requested, but this option has not been enabled in FDR Global Options.

Action: To allow synchronous recalls, enable the LXSYNUSE option in the FDR Global Options panel (A.I.4.11.9).

FDRW56

SYNCHRONOUS RESTORE status

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit has initiated a synchronous recall on behalf of a TSO user. This message reports the status of the recall. “status” may be:

IS PROCEEDING – PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME

The synchronous restore is still in process. This message is issued at five-second intervals up to four times.

TIMED OUT

The synchronous restore task failed after notifying the exit that the restore had started.

CONVERTED TO ASYNCHRONOUS RESTORE VIA ATTENTION

The user pressed the ATTN or PA1 key. Rather than canceling the restore the WAIT is canceled and the restore is allowed to proceed asynchronously (without impacting the terminal user).

FDRW57

UNCATALOGED FOR DELETE -- DSN=dsn

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit detected a catalog DELETE request for a data set Archived for auto-recall. The DELETE is failed with a return code of 8 and reason code of 42 (record not found). However, the auto-recall catalog entry is removed (uncataloged). If the delete was issued by IDCAMS or TSO you may receive:

IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8

IDC0551I ** ENTRY dsn NOT DELETED

Action: None, since the catalog entry has been removed. You may disregard the IDC messages.

FDRW58

DATA SET IN USE OR BEING RECALLED--RETRY ALLOCATION IN A FEW MINUTES

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit issued an enqueue to see if the data set listed in the FDRW70 message was available for use. The enqueue showed that the data set was allocated to another job or user. The recall is terminated.

Action: Retry the recall after allowing some time for the other task to free the data set.

FDRW59

FDRW60

FDROPSPF VER x.x/xx - PROCESSING ERROR - PARM-LVL level

Explanation: The FDR Install dialog CLIST invoked program FDROPSPF with an incompatible parameter level, indicating that the ddname allocations for the FDR CLIST library and the FDR program library point to libraries at different maintenance levels. On a re-install, the problem might be that the new FDR program library is not allocated to either ISPLLIB or STEPLIB ddnames, thus causing the prior level FDR programs to be loaded from the link list (LNKLST).

Action: If the FDR libraries are allocated at TSO log in time by the log in PROC or log in CLIST, verify that all required ddnames are allocated, as documented in FDR Installation.

If the FDR libraries are allocated by a local CLIST that uses the ISPF LIBDEF service, switch to use the ABRALLOC CLIST supplied by IDP, as documented in FDR-Installation.

FDRW67

FDRW68

PROCESSING RESTORES FOR JOBNAME=job

Explanation: Informational message indicating that the external restore procedure is restoring data sets for the specified job “job”.

FDRW69

reason--DSN=dsn

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit was attempting to reallocate a data set recalled by ABR at step initiation. Before the recall, the exit temporarily allocates the data set to a volume. If ABR recalls the data set to a different volume, then the exit must reallocate the data set; if it was part of a concatenation, it must re-concatenate all the data sets in the list. The attempt to reallocate or re-concatenate the data set failed for one of the following reasons:

LOCATE FAIL-RC=nn

A catalog LOCATE issued during reallocation failed with return code “nn”.

DSNAME MISMATCH

The data set name returned by LOCATE is not the name the exit was expecting. This may occur if the data set has an alias.

NOT RESTORED

ABR did not successfully restore the Archived data set.

DEALLOCATE FAILED

Dynamic deallocation of the ddname assigned to the data set failed with a return code other than zero.

REALLOCATE FAILED

Dynamic re-allocation of the ddname assigned to the data set failed with a non-zero return code.

RECONCAT FAILED

Dynamic re-concatenation of the ddname assigned to the data set failed with a non-zero return code.

SWA RESCAN FAILED

A scan of SWA (System Work Area) during re-allocation failed with a non-zero return code.

CVAF FAIL - nn/mmm

A CVAF call was issued to verify that a data set is on DASD, but it failed with return code “nn” and reason code “mmm”.

DEVTYPE MISMATCH

ABR recalled the data set to a different device type than the exit expected.

VOLSER NOT FOUND

ABR indicated that it recalled the data set to a specific volume serial, but the exit cannot find that volume serial number in any online UCB.

TOO MANY DDNAMES

The data set was referenced by more than 20 ddnames in this job step. The first 20 ddnames have been reallocated.

ddn BYPASSED

“ddn” is either JOBLIB or STEPLIB. It was not reallocated because it is currently OPEN.

Action: Except for the NOT RESTORED reason, the required data sets have been recalled by ABR. You should be able to resubmit the job for successful execution.

ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL -- DSN=dsn

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit determined that a TSO user referenced a data set that has been Archived by ABR with the RECALL=YES operand. This message and messages FDRW71 through FDRW79 (as required) are issued to the TSO user.

TYPE ’END’ TO BYPASS THE RESTORE OR PRESS ’ENTER’ TO CONTINUE

Explanation: If option LXALTMSG=NO, this format of message FDRW71 is issued asking the user if the recall of the Archived data set should be done. If option LXFOREST=NO, the message is not issued and the recall automatically proceeds. FDRW71 is only issued to TSO users.

Action: Press the ENTER key to recall the data set or type END to terminate the recall.

TYPE ’YES’ TO PERMIT THE RESTORE OR PRESS ’ENTER’ TO BYPASS

Explanation: If option LXALTMSG=YES, this format of message FDRW71 is issued asking the user if the recall of the Archived data set should be done. Unlike the standard FDRW71 message above, the user must positively request the recall. If option LXFOREST=NO, the message is not issued and the recall automatically proceeds. FDRW71 is only issued to TSO users.

Action: Type “YES” to recall the data set or press the ENTER key to terminate the recall.

TYPE ‘UC' TO UNCATALOG THE DATA SET

Explanation: If option LXUNCAT=YES, this format of FDRW71 may also be issued, giving the user the option of uncataloging the data set instead of recalling it. FDRW71 is only issued to TSO users.

Action: Type “UC” to uncatalog the data set without recalling it. The data set is no longer auto-recallable but it can still be restored manually. A new data set with the same name can be created.

restore-option--REPLY ‘xx’

Explanation: This message is issued one or more times to show the user a list of recall techniques (FOREGROUND, BACKGROUND, REMOTE QUEUE) available to TSO users, and the reply necessary to invoke each one (FG, BG, RQ). Option LXFDREST can be set to limit the user’s choices; only the recall techniques indicated are listed. If LXFDREST has been set to a single technique, message FDRW72 is not issued and that technique is automatically used. FDRW72 is only issued to TSO users.

TO UNCATALOG DSNAME AND BYPASS AUTO RECALL – REPLY ‘UC’

Explanation: This message is issued when confirmation to bypass auto recall has been requested.

Action: Type “UC” to uncatalog the data set without recalling it. The data set is longer auto-recallable, but can still be restored manually. A new data set with the same name can be created.

TYPE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE OR ’END’ TO TERMINATE THE RESTORE

Explanation: This message follows FDRW72. FDRW73 is only issued to TSO users.

Action: Enter the 2-character response that corresponds to the recall technique selected; it must be one in the list displayed by FDRW72.

FDRW74

FDRW75

RESTORE BYPASSED -- JOB job DATE: yyddd TIME: hhmmss DSN=dsn

RESTORE BYPASSED -- DSN=dsn

Explanation: Data set was scheduled for recall during step initiation but the recall was never attempted because the job step flushed, probably due to a JCL error.

DATA SET IS SCHEDULED TO BE RESTORED TO VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER vol

Explanation: The data set listed in the FDRW70 message is scheduled to be restored to the DASD volume with serial “vol”. If option LXNEWVOL is set to NO, the message is not issued and the recall to the volume selected by the ABR Catalog Locate exit automatically proceeds.

FDRW78

RESTORE recall-type--YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED UPON COMPLETION

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit is recalling the data set named FDRW70 message. The user receives additional messages indicating the success or failure of the recall. The “recall-type” may be:

START COMMAND ISSUED.

An asynchronous (background) recall has been started. The TSO user can continue with other functions, and can use the recalled data set when additional messages are received indicating the recall is completed.

STARTED IN FOREGROUND.

A synchronous recall in the foreground has been started. The TSO user is unable to proceed until the recall is complete.

STARTED SYNCHRONOUSLY.

A synchronous recall using an external recall address space has been started. The TSO user is unable to proceed until the recall is complete; however, the user may convert the recall to an asynchronous recall by pressing the ATTN or PA1 keys.

function reason

Explanation: The ABR Catalog Locate exit has determined that the recall of the data set named in the FDRW70 message cannot be done for one of the following reasons:

If the “function” is “RESTORE”, then the “reason” can be:

BYPASSED -- TSO RESTORE DISABLED

Auto recall of Archived data sets is disabled for TSO users (option LXDFREST is set to NO). The message is not issued if option LXNOMSG is set to YES.

BYPASSED -- DEFAULT RESTORE TYPE IN ERROR

The user made an invalid reply to message FDRW73 and the default recall technique was improperly specified. The user is prompted for another technique.

PROMPTED -- DEFAULT RESTORE TYPE IS DISABLED

The default recall technique established for TSO users is disabled.

If the “function” is “UNCATALOG”, then the “reason” can be:

FAILED - R15=ffffffff R0=00000000 R1=11111111

The user replied UC to the FDRW73 message to uncatalog the data set without recalling it, but the uncatalog failed. The contents of registers 15 (return code), R0 (catalog return code) and R1 are shown.

Action: Correct if this is an error in the setup of the RECALL exit.

DETECTS UNIT=unit,VOL=vol IN USE nnn, REPLY ‘RETRY’ OR ‘EOJ’

Explanation: The count of open DCBs “nnn” against volume “vol” on device “unit” is checked by COMPAKTOR. If the count is greater than 1, indicating that COMPAKTOR is not the only user of the volume, this message is issued. This message is also issued if the volume contains an active paging data set, or is the system residence volume. The keyword ACTMESS=NO on the COMPAKT statement suppresses this message and proceeds with the COMPAKTion automatically. See Compacting-Active-Volumes.

Action: If you know what job is using the device, reply “RETRY” after it ends. If you are not sure, the z/OS console command “D U,,ALLOC,unit,1” displays all jobs that have the DASD allocated (the number of allocations may differ from the number of open DCBs). If necessary, reply “EOJ” to terminate the COMPAKTOR job. Except for the SYSRES volume and paging volumes, you can also reply “IGNORE” to continue the COMPAKTion; however, you must have followed the rules for Compacting-Active-Volumes.

COMPAKTOR function status VOL=vol

Explanation: If LOG=YES is specified on the COMPAKT statement, this message is issued to inform the operator of the progress of the COMPAKTOR job. “function” is either “REORGANIZATION” for TYPE=FASTCPK or CPK, “SPACE RELEASE” for TYPE=RLSE, or “RECOVERY” for recovery from a failed Fast COMPAKTion. “status” is “STARTED”, “SUCCESSFUL”, or “**FAILED**”. The “STARTED” message remains non-deletable on the console until the “SUCCESSFUL” message is issued so that the operator knows that the operation is still in progress. The “**FAILED**” is also non-deletable to force the operator to take action.

Action: If the status is “**FAILED**”, check the output from the COMPAKTOR job. The volume should not be used until any problems are resolved (see COMPAKTOR Error Recovery ).

FDRW88

text

Explanation: This message is issued by the FDRSPZAP program. The text indicates various FDRSPZAP information or errors.

FDRW92

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ERRORS EXCEEDED LOG TERMINATED

Explanation: FDRPRE00, the ABR DADSM Preprocessing exit, has issued 100 FDRW90 error messages since the last time the exit was installed (usually the last IPL). No further messages are issued until you do a reIPL or reinstall the exit.

FDRW93
