If you can perform a LISTCAT for the datasets on PROM56 and see the data that is stored in the VVDS (e.g., for non-VSAM, you can see the storage, data, and management classes), then the VVDS is working properly and there is no need for you to recatalog the VVDS in any catalog dataset.
Optional background detail: When the system determines a VVDS is needed (often when the first VSAM dataset is allocated to a non-SMS volume or when the first dataset of any kind is allocated to an SMS volume), the VVDS is created and catalogued in the same catalog as the dataset being allocated. This could be the master catalog or the appropriate user catalog. Even though normal catalog search order requires SYS1 datasets to be in the master catalog, this is how SYS1.VVDS datasets get catalogued in user catalogs. While the IDC11367I message is annoying, the condition it reports doesn't not have any measurable affect on performance. Additionally, it is not caused because the VVDS dataset is in an "unexpected" catalog. Catalog datasets have pointers to volumes. The VVDS has pointers to various catalogs that normally match the catalogs in which the datasets on that volume are catalogued. These pointers should occur in pairs. I don't mean a one to one correspondence but if the VVDS on volume B points to SYS1.CATA then SYS1.CATA should point to volume B and conversely. The message is identifying the fact that for one or more of these pointers this is not the case. As indicated in the description of the message, the solution is a DEL NSCR, not a RECAT. :>: -----Original Message----- :>: > From: IBM :>: Mainframe Discussion List :>: [mailto:[email protected]] :>: On :>: > Behalf Of willie :>: bunter :>: > Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 :>: 6:31 AM :>: > To: [email protected] :>: > Subject: Re: IDCAMS QUESTION - :>: RECATALOG :>: > :>: > I am :>: doing this so as to :>: perform a cleanup of the :>: VVDS/CATALOGS. :>: > :>: > :>: :>: The DIAGNOSE put out the following errors: :>: :>: > IDC11367I THE FOLLOWING VVDS REFERENCED :>: CATALOGS WERE NOT :>: > :>: ENCOUNTERED :>: > :>: > The :>: DIAGNOSE of the :>: CATALOG was clean but the :>: DIAGNOS of the VVDS :>: > posted the above :>: error. <snip :>: -----Original Message----- :>: > > :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion :>: List :>: > [mailto:[email protected]] :>: > On :>: > > Behalf :>: Of :>: willie bunter :>: > :>: > Sent: Wednesday, :>: July 02, 2014 6:04 :>: AM > To: IBM- :>: > :>: [email protected] :>: > Subject: IDCAMS QUESTION - RECATALOG :>: > :>: > > Good Day, > > Can :>: you spot :>: my error.
