jjjjjjjj ssssssss dddddddd # ccc - All devices eliminated before MIA processing

Reason:

For the job, step, ddname, and DD concatenation number indicated in the message, CA MIA has been passed an EDL (eligible device list) in which all devices have already been marked ineligible. Since there are no eligible devices left at the time CA MIA obtains control, CA MIA does not perform device selection (TPCF functions) and passes the allocation immediately on the z/OS. z/OS then fails the job.

Action:

CA MIA did not mark the devices ineligible. All devices in the EDL were marked ineligible by another application or task prior to CA MIA receiving control. Determine which devices were in the EDL using the UNIT parameter specified on the DD for uncataloged data sets or using the generic in the catalog for cataloged data sets. To determine why all devices were marked ineligible, investigate other tasks involved in tape device selection and contact the appropriate vendors. In many cases, the devices have been marked ineligible due to selection performed by software supporting robotic tape devices (Sun STK, LMS, and so on).
