Re: VVDS points to non-existent catalog
W dniu 2016-10-17 o 21:10, Sean Gleann pisze: I've made a stupid mistake with one of my z/OS systems, and now I'm hoping that someone can help me extricate myself.. I was in the process of moving a user catalog from one disk to another. Following examples from documentation on the IBM web site... Did an EXPORT TEMPORARY of the ucat to a 'flat' file, followed by DELETE catname RECOVERY USERCATALOG, and then a DEFINE of the catalog on it's new volume. (All going well so far - I should know better) The subsequent attempt at an IMPORT of the 'flat' file resulted in a JCL error 'data set not found'. If I use ISPF 3.4 to look at all the files on the disk involved, I can see that the file does in fact exist. If I try 'I' or 'S', or 'browse', etc, I get 'data set not catalogued' The problem is that the flat file I created has a name that was aliased to the catalog I've just deleted and redefined. (foot...gun...BANG) The VVDS entry for the export file points to a catalog that - while it exists - is empty. I've tried numerous attempts at RECATALOG and DELETE NVR NOSCRATCH, but nothing works because SMS can't find the data it needs to complete the task I specify. To add to the problem, the same catalog also had my SMS SCDS/ACDS aliased there, among numerous other datasets necessary for IPL. Yes, all very stupid, I know, and I believe I've learnt a very harsh lesson. But if anyone has got any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Sean, Did you try to copy the flat file to another name? IMHO it should be the simplest way to circumvent the problem: //K10 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER ... //SYSUT1 DD DSN=you.exported.ucat,DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=volser <-- no catalog involvement here! //SYSUT2 DD DSN=SYS1.COPY.OF.EXP.UCAT,DISP=(,CATLG)... then use import from the copy... -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland --- Treść tej wiadomości może zawierać informacje prawnie chronione Banku przeznaczone wyłącznie do użytku służbowego adresata.

Re: VVDS points to non-existent catalog
Dan... but your response gave me the required clue. I redefined the alias, and lo&behold the dump file became 'findable' to ISPF. Renamed it, ran the IMPORT job again (with necessary changes) and everything is now back to normal Job done! Thanks Dan, and to all others who have responded.

Dan - the alias has already gone (as a result of the 'export'?).

Re: VVDS points to non-existent catalog
Having not seen this before, I think you will need to delete the alias, so that the master is not searching that 'path' for the data set you are renaming. Then you should be able to rename and catalog it.

Mark - Thanks - that idea flew a little way... The DEFINE went to RC0, but ISPF still resolutely insists that the file does not exist.

Re: VVDS points to non-existent catalog
You can also try to create the catalog empty. (Define UCAT) Then catalog the ds you need and you can perform the rename.

I was in the process of moving a user catalog from one disk to another. Following examples from documentation on the IBM web site... Did an EXPORT TEMPORARY of the ucat to a 'flat' file, followed by DELETE catname RECOVERY USERCATALOG, and then a DEFINE of the catalog on it's new volume. (All going well so far - I should know better) The subsequent attempt at an IMPORT of the 'flat' file resulted in a JCL error 'data set not found'. If I use ISPF 3.4 to look at all the files on the disk involved, I can see that the file does in fact exist. If I try 'I' or 'S', or 'browse', etc, I get 'data set not catalogued' The problem is that the flat file I created has a name that was aliased to the catalog I've just deleted and redefined. (foot...gun...BANG) The VVDS entry for the export file points to a catalog that - while it exists - is empty. I've tried numerous attempts at RECATALOG and DELETE NVR NOSCRATCH, but nothing works because SMS can't find the data it needs to complete the task I specify. To add to the problem, the same catalog also had my SMS SCDS/ACDS aliased there, among numerous other datasets necessary for IPL. Yes, all very stupid, I know, and I believe I've learnt a very harsh lesson. But if anyone has got any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
