FlashCopy Manager messages

All FlashCopy® Manager messages follow a consistent naming convention whereby each message starts with a five character prefix of IWNAF and IWNRF.


A typical sequence of messages generated by the status job in data set hlq.FCMGR.groupqual.CURRENT.JOBS(Q@STATUS) is as follows.

IWNAF010I  PROCESSING RECORDS FOR 308 DEVICES
IWNAF020I  308 DEVICES ARE IN THE 01 STATE - FC ACTIVE
IWNAF021I  308 DEVICES ARE IN THE 01 STATE - NO BCPY P MODE
IWNAF015I  COMPLETED PROCESSING FOR 308 DEVICES

A typical sequence of messages generated by the Establish step in the job found in data set hlq.FCMGR.groupqual.CURRENT.JOBS(B$FREEZE) is as follows.

IWNAF999I  IWNAFCA7 STARTING
IWNAF010I  PROCESSING RECORDS FOR 308 DEVICES
IWNAF600I  FRZ DELAY = 1.146 seconds
IWNAF601I  I/O DELAY = 1.203 seconds
IWNAF015I  COMPLETED PROCESSING FOR 308 DEVICES

Message numbers below 010 identify problems with the input data to the FlashCopy program being run.

The message numbers IWNAF010I and IWNAF015I bracket the FlashCopy operation. IWNAF010I marks the starting point for functions that passed input data validity checking. IWNAF015I marks the ending point of operations against the FlashCopy volumes; the device count in the message will identify the number of devices in the input data set.

Message numbers in the 090-099 range indicate internally detected error conditions and may have two causes:
  1. Insufficient region size specified on the job or run statement.
  2. An internal program logic error.
Message numbers above 900 provide data about selected processing functions. See the message description for more details.
Note: The following link describes a more comprehensive list of the return codes that you might see when you run FlashCopy Manager jobs: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSESK4_6.2.4/com.ibm.storage.csm.help.doc/msgs/msg_channel_return_codes.html
