SMP/E APPLY or ACCEPT Processing Fails

Symptom:

SMP/E APPLY or ACCEPT processing fails due to a target or distribution library running out of free directory blocks.

Reason:

A product (for example, PDSMAN) was installed and configured in a way that PDS directory blocks occupy more space than by default. This particular PDS data set ran out of free directory blocks.

Solution:

Change the PDS directory block increase percentage.

Follow these steps:

1. Shut down the MSMTC address space using the command:

   P MSMTC
   

2. In the STDENV startup script, specify the variable for msm.pds.dirblk.percentage in the data set that the STDENV DDNAME points to in the MSMTC STC procedure. Alternatively you can increase the value of the variable:

   IJO="$IJO -Dmsm.pds.dirblk.percentage=25”
   

3. Start the MSMTC address space using the command:

   S MSMTC
   

4. Retry the task that failed.
