RECYCLE Command Processor Report Message Descriptions

The following provides a description of the Recycle Command Processor Report messages:

“PHYSICAL” KEYWORD PARAMETER NOT DEFINED

A Recycle SOURCE(REPAIR) control statement requires the definition of the PHYSICAL keyword parameter.

Define the PHYSICAL keyword parameter and resubmit Recycle.

ALL PHYSICAL VOLUMES EXCLUDED

All candidate physical tapes were excluded from processing by the PEXCLUDE file.

CANCELED BY THE OPERATOR

The operator issued a stop Recycle command (P RECYCLE) during Recycle execution. Recycle subsequently interrupted processing and stopped execution. When the stop command is issued during LIVE execution mode Backstore Tapes are Recycled up to the point the stop command is issued and output reports will reflect the Backstore Tapes that were processed.

COMMAND STATEMENT nnn EXCEEDS MAXIMUM

Recycle input command statement nnn exceeds the maximum allowed of 99.

EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF COMMAND STATEMENTS

The number of Recycle input command statements has exceeded 199. The maximum allowed is 99.

HALTED INTERNALLY

Recycle detected an operational anomaly which halted the current Recycle Command Statement from exciting. The Recycle Exception Report defines the specific cause.

Refer to the Recycle Exception Report to determine and resolve the cause.

I/O ERROR. PROCESS TERMINATED

An I/O error terminated Recycle execution. This error is the result of REXX I/O operations performing a read, write or update of SYSUTn work files or writing SYSPRINT or REPORT output files. If the I/O error occurred during the analysis phase of Recycle (pre-Recycle process or SIMULATE execution) then the Recycle request of Backstore Tapes was not performed. If the I/O error occurred during the post-Recycle phase (LIVE execution) then the Recycle request of Backstore Tapes was performed and output report information may be incomplete. When an I/O error occurs during the post-Recycle phase use the Recycle JOBLOG to verify the results of Recycle. In all cases the integrity of customer data residing on Backstore Tapes remains intact and valid.

Determine the cause of the I/O error by viewing the Recycle JOBLOG. Perform problem determination and lookup z/OS IEC error message definitions. Based on the recommendations of IEC messages attempt to resolve the problem and resubmit the Recycle job for execution in SIMULATE mode. Compare the results of the terminated Recycle execution with the new SIMULATE execution of Recycle to determine what physical Backstore Tapes were Recycled. If the I/O error cannot be resolved report the problem to CA Support.

When attempting to perform problem determination it is recommended that all SYSUTn files be allocated to permanent data sets for viewing and analysis when reporting problems to CA Support.

INVALID GROUP NUMBER SPECIFIED

The Group number specified is not valid. Specify a valid Group number and resubmit Recycle for execution.

INVALID REXX COMMAND REQUEST

An invalid REXX command has been detected. Report the problem to CA Support.

INVALID TARGET. GRP DUPLEX ATTR NOT DEFINED

The parmlib member VTGROUP does not specify a Duplex attribute for the group parameter specified by the Recycle command statement.

Correct the TARGET parameter and re-submit the Recycle job.

NO PRIMARY/DUPLEX ENTRIES FOUND

No candidate tapes meet the requirements defined by the Recycle command statements. All Backstore Tapes were eliminated from Recycle consideration or there are no cataloged Backstore Tapes (physical files) to process.

This description message may also be the result of a z/OS catalog processing error or Recycle parsing errors processing catalog records.

Verify the specification of the Recycle command statements and run a LIST=BACKSTORE report to verify that Backstore tapes are cataloged. Check the Recycle JOBLOG to verify that no catalog processing errors are issued and view the SYSOUT file defined by the SYSTSPRT DD statement (you must define the SET DEBUG command statement to obtain diagnostic messages). If it is known that Backstore Tapes should be selected for Recycle then report the problem to CA Support.

PRIMARY/DUPLEX OUTPUT UNIT NAME INVALID

Issue the Display Parmlib,LONG CA Vtape console command and verify that the Primary and Duplex attributes for the respective group specify a valid unit generic or esoteric. Correct the attributes in the VTGROUP parmlib member, issue the SVTn REFRESH=GROUP console command, and re-submit the Recycle job.

PROJECTED TCR LOWER THAN REQUESTED TCR

The RECYCLE GROUP command was skipped because the projected tape consolidation ratio calculated was lower than the requested tape consolidation ratio. Refer to the SVTRC190.A report to view the results of the tape consolidation ratio rejection report.

RECYCLE DENIED. GROUP ALREADY IN USE

The referenced Group is already in use by another CA Vtape task (for example, SVTn REFRESH=GROUP operator command, RECALL, Externalization or another Recycle JOB). Wait until the group is no longer locked or used by other CA Vtape tasks and re-submit the Recycle job for execution.

REPORT OUTPUT LINE TRUNCATION ERROR

The Recycle report may have truncated the contents of a report output line. Report the problem to CA Support.

REVIEW EXCEPTION REPORTS

The results of the Recycle request completed with exceptions that are written to the SVTRC130.E Exception Report.

SB37, SD37 ABEND OR I/O FAILURE ERROR

The Recycle Utility detected a SD37 ABEND (a dataset out of space condition) or an I/O failure error. Refer to JOBLOG messages IEC03nI and IRX0250E messages for a reason/resolution description of the failure. Recycle ends with a completion code of 0008.
