DSNU381I csect-name TABLESPACE database.tablespace-name IS IN COPY PENDING

Explanation

This message is issued after:
  • A LOAD or REORG utility with the LOG(NO) option left the associated table space in an unrecoverable state.
  • An image copy failed because broken pages were detected or an image copy was terminated.
  • A partial recovery finished successfully.
  • A MODIFY RECOVERY left the associated table space in an unrecoverable state.

    If the RECOVER TABLESPACE utility with keyword TOCOPY is being used, the START_RBA or START_LRSN value of the associated full image copy might be outside the available recovery information. To verify this, look at the REPORT utility output. The RECOVER TABLESPACE utility will process the TOCOPY keyword and put the recovering object in copy pending status.

An image copy is required to establish a new base from which the table space can be recovered. Otherwise, the results of running the RECOVER utility on that table space are unpredictable.

User response

Take an image copy of the associated table space. If the message was issued after the COPY utility failed, correct all specified errors for the associated table space before attempting another image copy on that table space.

Severity

4 (warning)
