Hi, We encountered a problem on our production system.
A job was using DSS to backup a lot of data sets (logical dump) and we got ADR321E for one extended format PS data set: the data set was not on the supposed volume. This job will run more than 3 hours and we found out that another job will delete the data set and re-create it during that time (1.5 hours after the dump job starts). It might be the cause of ADR321E. And from the archive I found a similar thread: It is entirely possible that when DFDSS was building his process list the dataset was on the volume. Between that time the dataset probably got deleted and re-allocated. Naturally when DFDSS went to copy the dataset later on, it wasn't there. Hence the error message. Moral of the story: Don't delete datasets until after DFDSS has copied them. Does that mean there is a time interval between DSS located the data set via catalog and DSS actually places the ENQUEUE on it? If it's true, from our experience this time interval for a big dump job is very long. Thus give another job the chance to delete the target data set. Do we have any method to ask DSS to ENQUEUE earlier? Thanks. -- Best Regards, Johnny Luo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
