IDC21410I   DELETE OF SPHERE sph FROM {TARGET|SOURCE} CATALOG FAILED

Explanation

CNVTCAT or REPRO MERGECAT has attempted to delete a sphere from the source or target catalog and has failed. When the sphere is not deleted from the source catalog, the sphere exists in both source and target catalogs. When the sphere is not deleted from the target catalog, only a partial sphere may exist in the target catalog and the sphere exists in the source catalog as it did before the processing began.

In the message text:
sph
The indicated sphere.

System action

Processing of the sphere is ended and processing continues with the conversion of the next sphere’s base.

System programmer response

Enter the access method services LISTCAT command to list catalog entries and information about objects defined in the catalog.

Programmer response

  • If the operation was a CNVTCAT, restore the volumes, correct the problem and rerun the job.
  • If the operation was a REPRO MERGECAT and the delete failed for the source catalog, issue an Access Method Services DELETE NOSCRATCH to remove the catalog entries for sphere dsname from the source catalog.
  • If the delete failed for the target catalog, restore the volumes, correct the problem and rerun the job.
