DWW0169E Data set dddd is restored from a backup-while-open copy but the extracted recovery point time of vvvv from the ICF catalog cannot be used.

section

CICS® VR determined that data set dddd is restored from a backup-while-open copy, but its recovery point time vvvv in the ICF catalog is either damaged or in the incorrect format. The correct format in the ICF catalog should be an 8-byte field split into 2 packed-decimal fields, each 4-bytes long, in the format yyyydddF, and hhmmssF, where yyyy, ddd, hh, mm, and ss represent date and time components.

section

If no STARTTIME keyword is provided, processing of CICS VR stops and recovery does not occur.

section

  • Batch–Supply a STARTTIME keyword that overrides the unusable recovery point time, ensuring that recovery begins at a time before, or equal to, the actual recovery point time. If the true recovery point time cannot be determined, specify a STARTTIME value of 86001, which causes all records from the logs to be applied.
  • Online–Provide a valid STARTTIME in the VSAM sphere parameters secondary window.
