MIM2197I

llllll DEVICE LIST

Reason:

This message is issued along with the MIM2044 message when SETOPTION TPCF MIM2044DIAG=YES is specified. The message is issued to assist in determining the reason for the MIM2044 - the reason all 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 CA MIA was passed the EDL. The OUTPUT list represents the devices that were still eligible after CA MIA processing (JOB RESERVE, TPCEDLXT, OVERGENNED if SET TPCF OVGINELIG=YES/JOBRESV).

Action:

The devices in the INPUT list are the devices that were still eligible at the time CA MIA was passed the EDL for the allocation. Any devices that are not in the INPUT list were either not in the EDL to begin with or were marked ineligible by another product before CA MIA processing. Determine the contents of the EDL using the UNIT parameter on the DD for uncataloged data sets or using the generic in the catalog for cataloged data sets. Consult with vendors of other products involved in tape device selection/elimination to determine why devices eliminated prior to CA MIA processing were eliminated. In most cases, the device elimination will be a result of elimination performed by robotic software (such as STK HSC or Memorex LMS).

The devices in the OUTPUT list are the devices that were still eligible after CA MIA processing. A prior MIM2196I or MIM2197I should have been issued with the status of the INPUT list. Compare the devices in the INPUT list and the devices in the OUTPUT list. CA MIA has eliminated any devices in the INPUT list that are not in the OUTPUT 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).

If there are devices remaining in the output list, then determine why they are not permitted for use by this allocation. Issue the CA MIA 'D LOCAL' command to see if the devices have been assigned a special status such as OVERGENNED, NOTAVAILABLE, or EXTERNALLY DEDICATED. Also, determine if other vendor software is eliminating these devices during allocation recovery.
