VTAPE_DATAQ_ALLOCATION

Description

The Data Queue (VDATAQ) environment failed to initialize the VDATAQ data set. VDATAQ data set is a temporary repository for storing messages that cannot be immediately transmitted to a remote CA Vtape subsystem. If the remote is available the message data is transmitted to the remote’s VDATAQ and any necessary action is taken. One example of the message traffic is the transmittal of scratch requests for Virtual Volumes that were sent by Peer-To-Peer to the remote subsystem.

Because the VDATAQ data set was not created, any messages still queued for remote transmission will be lost when CA Vtape is terminated.

Best Practice

Review the z/OS System Log for error messages pertaining to the allocation request. The typical problem is a security or SMS change. Correct the error and restart CA Vtape.

If the error cannot be found, search the CA problem reporting databases for a resolution. If you are unable to find a resolution to the error, contact CA Technical Support for assistance.
