Example Messages

The following new Version 12 messages are related to the CXX upgrade feature. In the messages that follow, DBID=789 is used as an example.

DB13278W

BASE n INDEX AREAS HAVE BEEN DELETED, IXX REMAINS

Reason:

While the DBUTLTY function CXXMAINT was being executed with either OPTION=FORMAT0201 or OPTION=CONVERT1211, a database was found with an alternate index area, not IXX. With FORMAT 1, the only allowed index area is IXX. Every table with a key definition using the alternate index area is set to the message: INDEX NOT LOADED. In the message text, the n is the database ID.

Action:

At the completion of the function, execute and review a REPORT AREA=CXX without TYPE=A to see if any table has an index that is not loaded, then handle accordingly. We recommend that you avoid getting into this situation by not using FORMAT 2 for a database that has a risk of being subject to a downgrade. With this warning message, DBUTLTY ends the function without recognizing this as an error and therefore continues other functions.

DB13280W

BASE n AREA aaa NOT INITIALIZED, DEFAULTING TRACKS PER CYLINDER TO 15

Reason:

While the DBUTLTY function CXXMAINT was being executed with either OPTION=FORMAT0201 or OPTION=CONVERT1211, the index or a data area was found to be using dynamic extend in cylinders and must be converted to tracks. The index or data area has not been initialized. Therefore, the device type is unknown, which means that CA Datacom cannot determine the correct number of tracks per cylinder to use in the calculation. The function presumes the number to be 15 and continues. In the message text, the n is the database ID, and the aaa is the area name.

Action:

If the presumption of the number being 15 is not correct, the database must be cataloged to get the correct number of tracks as currently defined. We recommend that you not get into this situation by not using FORMAT 2 for a database at risk of being subject to a downgrade. With this warning message, DBUTLTY ends the function without recognizing this as an error and therefore continues other functions.

DB13281W

BASE n AREA aaa DYNAMIC EXTEND CHANGED FROM n CYLINDERS TO n TRACKS

Reason:

While the DBUTLTY function CXXMAINT was being executed with either OPTION=FORMAT0201 or OPTION=CONVERT1211, the index or a data area was found using dynamic extend in cylinders and must be converted to tracks. In the message text, the n following FROM is the number of CYLINDERS, and the n following TO is the number of TRACKS. In the message text, the n following BASE is the database ID, and the aaa is the name of the area.

Action:

If the presumption regarding the number of tracks is not correct, the database must be cataloged to get the correct number of tracks as currently defined. We recommend that you not get into this situation by not using FORMAT 2 for a database at risk of being subject to a downgrade. With this warning message, DBUTLTY ends the function without recognizing this as an error and therefore continues other functions.

DB13282E

BASE n TABLE ttt NOT ALLOWED, 94(135) DB+USER COMPRESSION

Reason:

While the DBUTLTY function CXXMAINT was being executed with OPTION=CONVERT1112, a table was found that has both DB compression and also user compression defined. This combination was not valid in r11 for processing and is not allowed in the CXX in Version 12. In the message text, the n is the database ID, and the ttt is the name of the table.

Action:

Before the CXX can be converted to Version 12, the table must be deleted using r11 facilities.
