BSYI522W SLB is older than the oldest IC recorded in DBRC

Explanation

This message is preceded by message BSYI521W or BSYI521E, which identified the database and ddname that encountered this condition. The data set is being recovered using an SLB, but the oldest image copy recorded in DBRC for this data set is marked later than the SLB time. This could indicate that older allocation or image copy records have rolled off of DBRC, so it cannot be determined if logs need to be applied after the data set is restored from the SLB. If the data set was allocated at the time the SLB was created, BSYI522E is issued and this recovery is terminated because recovery is unable to determine which logs to use for recovery. If the data set is not allocated, then BSYI522W is issued and the recovery job uses the ‘Action on Warnings’ setting to determine how to proceed.

User response

If BSYI522E is issued, then this data set cannot be recovered using the system level backup. If BSYI522W is issued, then the ‘Action on Warnings’ can be set to Cont to have IMS Recovery Expert restore the data set from the SLB. Be aware that IMS Recovery Expert cannot determine if logs will need to be applied to fully recover the data set.
