IEF115I
jobname [procstep] stepname ddname [+ xxx] ALLOCATION FAILED - ddd UNITS REQUIRED, BUT NO LIBRARY HAS ENOUGH UNITS

Explanation

The allocation request failed because the request required more tape devices than contained in any eligible system-managed tape library. Message IEF114I, which displays the eligible device pools, might accompany this message.

If a dynamic ACTIVATE was done while the job was in allocation, any new devices or device pools added by the new configuration are not available to the job, because jobs in the recovery allocation are still locked onto the Eligible Device Table (EDT) for the previous configuration. The new configuration does not become available until the job ends, or is cancelled, then is submitted again.

In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job.
procstep
The name of the step in the cataloged procedure.
stepname
The name of the job step.
ddname
The name of the DD statement.
+ xxx
The relative position of a data set within a concatenation of data sets, including all data sets implicitly concatenated (through GDG ALL or OPTCD=B requests). See z/OS MVS JCL User's Guide for more information on GDG ALL or OPTCD=B requests when used within a set of concatenated data sets. The first data set of a concatenation would be +000, but the value +000 is never shown.
ddd
The number of tape devices required.

System action

The system fails the allocation request.

System programmer response

Ensure that sufficient tape device pools are defined to this system. Then, resubmit the request. If the failure occurred while the job was in recovery allocation, and a dynamic ACTIVATE was done at the same time, resubmit the job when the activate completes.

Programmer response

Reduce the number of tape devices required by this DD statement and then resubmit the job. If this is not possible, notify the system programmer.
