Determining objects that the system saved (save messages)

This information describes how save messages work and what information is available from the output files.

Save messages show the number of objects that the system saved. The message help of the completion message includes the volume identifiers of the first 75 volumes of save media that the system used. The system uses these identifiers to update the status information of each object that the system saved. The message data contains this information, the last volume ID, and either the last device that the system used or the save file that the system used.

Note: The system performs overlap processing during normal save operations. The system can write some libraries to the media while the system preprocesses other libraries. Occasionally the job log contains preprocessing and completion messages that appear in a different order than the order in which the system wrote libraries to the media.

If a single command saves multiple libraries, a final completion message (CPC3720 or CPC3721) also contains the last device that the system used.

Note: The output file that you specify is in use throughout the save operation. Therefore, the system cannot save it as part of the operation. Depending on how you perform your save operation, you might see a CPF379A message in the job log for the output file. If you want to save the output file after your save operation has completed, use the SAVOBJ command.

These are some messages that you might see during the verification process:

Message CPF3797: Objects from library <your library name> not saved. Save limit exceeded.

Message CPC3701: Sent for each library that is saved to media.

Message CPC3718 : Completion message for SAVSYSINF command.

Message CPC3722: Sent for each library that is saved to a save file.

Message CPC9410: Completion message for SAVDLO command to media.

Message CPC9063: Completion message for SAVDLO command to save file.

Message CPC370C: Completion message for SAV command to media.

Message CPC370D: Completion message for SAV command to save file.
