Managing the ReportCenter Java Task › Database Scheduled Maintenance Times

Database Scheduled Maintenance Times

You need to know your database scheduled maintenance times. Do not schedule ReportCenter reports to be produced during these times.

If the database is not available and reports or other services are attempted, errors may appear in the Adaptor001.log and NetMaster Activity log. ReportCenter tries every 10 or 15 minutes to establish the connections, and eventually the Java task may terminate. Similar errors may occur if there are any service interruptions to the sockets interface, such as a restart of the z/OS TCP/IP stack.

We recommend the following:

• Do not schedule reports or services to be produced during database maintenance times. Be aware of this when completing the REPORTCENTER Customizer parameter group (/PARMS) for daily housekeeping, and weekly expiry run times.
• If database maintenance is going to take some extended time, shut down the ReportCenter Java Task. Bring them both back up at the same time (the database first), using operations automation software to accomplish this.
