DSNU1630I csect-name BACKUP SYSTEM UTILITY FAILED, BECAUSE action FCINCREMENTAL WAS SPECIFIED BUT THE INCREMENTAL FLASHCOPY COULD NOT BE PROCESSED

Explanation

This message is issued when all of the following conditions exist:
  • The database copy pool has been defined with more than one DASD version.
  • A persistent incremental FlashCopy® relationship already exists for the database copy pool.
  • The next version or backup of the database copy pool to be taken is for a full FlashCopy rather than an incremental FlashCopy.

If the action specified is ESTABLISH, then a persistent incremental FlashCopy relationship already exists for the database copy pool.

If the action specified is END, then the persistent incremental FlashCopy relationship cannot be ended because the next version of the database copy pool to be taken is for a full FlashCopy, rather than for the incremental FlashCopy.

System programmer response

Remove the ESTABLISH FCINCREMENTAL option or the END FCINCREMENTAL option and rerun the BACKUP SYSTEM utility job. This will create a full FlashCopy of the database copy pool. It will also create the log copy pool if the FULL option was specified.

If you specified ESTABLISH FCINCREMENTAL and it is important based on your schedule of backing up your system for this invocation of the BACKUP SYSTEM utility to create a system-level backup that's copy of the database copy pool is an incremental FlashCopy, then analyze the following:
  • The job output from the last couple of invocations of the BACKUP SYSTEM utility. Look for message DSNU1639I.
  • The output from the DFSMShsm LIST COPYPOOL command for the database copy pool.
  • The output from the print log map utility (DSNJU004) for the system-level backup information. Look for system-level backups with TYPE=I.

If you specified END FCINCREMENTAL, then remove these keywords until the next backup version of the database copy pool to be taken is the version associated with the persistent incremental FlashCopy relationship. END FCINCREMENTAL can only be specified to take a last incremental FlashCopy and withdraw the persistent incremental FlashCopy relationship when the backup version to be taken is the incremental FlashCopy relationship.
