So, I'm in doing my final conversion from z/OS 1.9 to z/OS 1.11. Testing in the sandbox(es) worked fine for a good nine months, and in my Development LPAR for a good six weeks.
Everything looked good except I get this error sometimes!: IEF344I GIBNEYX S5D BACKUP - ALLOCATION FAILED DUE TO DATA FACILITY SYSTEM ERROR IGD306I UNEXPECTED ERROR DURING IEFAB4C0 PROCESSING RETURN CODE 8 REASON CODE 12 THE MODULE THAT DETECTED THE ERROR IS IGDVTSVA SMS MODULE TRACE BACK - VTSVA VTSCR SSIRT SYMPTOM RECORD CREATED, PROBLEM ID IS IGD00005 The DD statement is: //S5D EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //BACKUP DD DSN=GIBNEY.DATABASE.BACKUP, // UNIT=TAPE,LABEL=EXPDT=99000,DISP=(NEW,CATLG), // DATACLAS=GDG,RECFM=VB,LRECL=4096 And, at my installation, I do Tape Mount Management, that is to say; UNIT=TAPE is intercepted in the ACS routines and routed to DASD. This jobstep didn't fail every time. But it happened often enough I backed out and am back running 1.9. A few tested in the other LPAR all worked so far. I haven't tried IBMLink yet, it's 3 am here and I'm going to get some sleep first. But, I thought I'd ask for ideas here as I headed home. Any clues (even a stick) would be appreciated. If I get an answer, I can try again to convert tomorrow, if not I probably have to wait until late September. :( Dave Gibney Information Technology Services Washington State University ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
