Alan, On what release of Z/os did this happen? ________________________________
From: Alan Schwartz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 6/27/2007 8:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Damaged Catalog Alert We had a catalog break a little yesterday. First symptoms were an svc dump and a cluster of messages like: DUMP TITLE=CAS DYNAMIC DUMP-IGG0CLEG RC26 RSN8 IEC331I 026-008(21080018),CA0877 ,$ISDREXX,IGG0CLEG IEC331I CATALOG.MISC.UCAT IEC332I GETO,GFL ,ICDV,ACD1 IEC333I L024(033),DE,CATALOG.MISC.UCAT, I sent the dump to IBM and they came back with: Looking at your dump, it looks like a match for UA33288, which is the PTF for OA19870. To verify this, can you Examine catalog CATALOG.MISC.UCAT. Title for OA19870 is CATALOG IN ECS EXTENDS BUT ITS VVDS IS MISSING AN EXTENT ERROR DESCRIPTION: A catalog in ECS took a new extent but later errors were encountered on its re-open after an AUTOTUNE. Message IEC331I 026-008(21080018) was issued and catalog failed to open the catalog. EXAMINE showed errors IDC11728I DATA FOUND IN EMPTY CI PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Since enough documentation could not be obtained to ascertain the root cause of this problem, we have added diagnostic checks that will detect and issue a dump when a VVR that is about to be written would break the catalog (5 different checks). Also the VVR I/O is not performed, thereby preventing any breakage. PLEASE NOTE THIS APAR IS NOT MARKED HIPER. I have addressed with with IBM and they are looking at why that might have happened. Our Storage group worked with Dino Software and we were able to get the catalog fixed. We also disabled ECS until we can get the fix installed Alan Schwartz Assurant Corporate Technology z/OS Lead Systems Programmer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
