Subject: How to Avoid JOBCAT/STEPCAT for DSS VSAM Restore


Restoring a system from DSS logical dump using the following:

RESTORE DS(INCLUDE(**)) INDD(INDD1) OUTDYNAM(xxxxxx) -
       BYPASSACS(**) RECATALOG(other.systems.mcat.name) -
       NMC NSC IMPORT TOLERATE(ENQFAILURE) REPLACE

The new system's catalog is connected to the driving system's catalog. RESTORE fails for the VSAM data sets as follows:

ADR485E (ttt)-mmmmm(yy), CATALOG catalog_name IS NOT IN
      STEPCAT/JOBCAT/MASTERCAT STRUCTURE. DATA SET dsname WILL NOT BE
      PROCESSED

Explanation:  The NONSMS cluster named in the message required DFSMSdss to
use IDCAMS or VSAM I/O to perform the COPY or RESTORE. This requires that
both the source and target cluster (allocated by DFSMSdss) be accessible
via the catalog structure.

System Action:  Processing continues with the next data set. The return
code is 8.

Operator Response:  None.

Application Programmer Response:  Add a STEPCAT or JOBCAT JCL statement
specifying the named catalog, or concatenate it to your existing
STEPCAT/JOBCAT JCL statement, and rerun the job. For z/OS V1R5 systems,
the JOBCAT/STEPCAT feature must be enabled with the DFSMS MODIFY CATALOG
command. For additional information about how to enable this feature, see
z/OS Migration.

I need to find an alternative to JOBCAT/STEPCAT for this RESTORE. Any ideas?


Ed,

Try the MLA workaround we now use for PAGE datasets. Carl did a Bit Bucket on this a few years ago.
