CA TLMS -- MULTIVOLUME CHAINING STOPPED FOR VSN volser

Reason:

TLMSVMRW: Update routine encountered an invalid chain condition for VSN volser while trying to add another volume to the existing chain.

Action:

Dump/restore the Volume Master File. Perform one of the following manual actions if the problem recurs.

• Break volume chains (UPV volser,CHV=BRKCHN). This breaks all volume chains associated with the problem volume, resulting in an initialized volume. Volume sequence, volume count, file sequence and file count are zero. Other fields are blank.
• Establish a single volume data set to break volume chains associated with the problem volume (UPV volser, EXPDT=60001). Volume sequence and count, and file sequence and count are 1. Other fields remain the same.
• Reestablish volume and data set chains (UPV & CHD). All data related fields should be updated if needed.

The following is an example: A multivolume data set chain is invalid.

VSN=000001 VOLSEQ=1 VOLCNT=2 FILESEQ=1 FILECNT=1
VSN=000002 VOLSEQ=2 VOLCNT=3 FILESEQ=1 FILECNT=1
VSN=000003 VOLSEQ=3 VOLCNT=3 FILESEQ=1 FILECNT=1
VSN 000001 IS CHAINED TO 000010.(INVALID CHAIN)
VSN 000002 IS CHAINED TO 000002 (BASE VOLUME=000001)
VSN 000003 IS CHAINED TO 000003 (BASE VOLUME=000001)

20 The following is one solution to the problem:

   UPV 000001,CHV=BRKCHN (CLEAR AND BREAK CHAINS)
   UPV 000002,EXPDT=60001 (SINGLE VOLUME DATA SET)
   UPV 000003,EXPDT=60001 (SINGLE VOLUME DATA SET)
   UPD 000001,DSN=PAYROLL.MASTER.SYSTEM,CDATE=81100
   UPD 000001,CTIME=15.30.00,CJOB=PAY,CSTEP=PAY01
   UPV 000001,CHV=000002,VOLSEQ=2 (CHAIN THE VOLUMES)
   UPV 000010,CHV=000002,VOLSEQ=3 (CHAIN THE VOLUMES)
   UPV 0001E0,EXPDT=60001 (SINGLE VOLUME DATA SET)

The above restored the three (3) volume data sets and released one volume (000010) from volume chains.
