MIM2196I

llllll LIST HAS NO DEVICES - EMPTY

Reason:

This message is issued along with the MIM2044 message when SETOPTION TPCF MIM2044DIAG=YES is specified to assist in determining the reason for the MIM2044 (the reason call devices were eliminated). The value of llllll can be either INPUT or OUTPUT. The INPUT list represents the devices from the EDL (eligible device list) for the associated DD that were still eligible when the EDL was passed to CA MIA. The OUTPUT list represents the devices that were still eligible after CA MIA processing (JOB RESERVE, TPCEDLXT).

Action:

If the INPUT list is empty, no devices were eligible when the EDL was passed to CA MIA for this allocation. This indicates that all devices in the EDL were marked ineligible before CA MIA processing. Determine which devices were in the EDL through the UNIT parameter specified on the DD for uncataloged data sets or through the generic in the catalog for cataloged data sets. Then, consult with vendors of other products involved in tape device selection/elimination to determine why the devices have been eliminated. In many cases, the device elimination is a result of elimination performed by robotic software (Sun STK, Memorex LMS, and so on).

If the OUTPUT list is empty, then all devices in the EDL have been eliminated for this allocation. A prior MIM2196I or MIM2197I should have been issued with the status of the INPUT list. If a MIM2196I was issued indicating that the INPUT list was empty, then all devices were eliminated from the EDL prior to CA MIA processing. Determine which devices were in the EDL and consult with other vendors as indicated above. If a MIM2197I was issued showing a list of devices in the INPUT list, then CA MIA processing has eliminated the devices that were in the INPUT list. Issue CA MIA 'D JOB', 'D LOCAL', and 'D EXIT' commands to determine why CA MIA has eliminated the devices (JOB RESERVE, TPCEDLXT, OVERGENNED if SET TPCF OVGINELIG=YES/JOBRESV).

Any devices that were not listed in the INPUT list were either not in the EDL or were eliminated by another product prior to CA MIA processing.
