DFS0486W THE RECON DATASET WILL NOT BE UPDATED FOR [DATA BASE dbdname|AREA areaname]
Explanation
The database dbdname or area areaname was being opened for update processing without DBRC control. Although DBRC was used during the previous execution for which update ACCESS to the database or area was allowed, log data sets generated during the current execution will not be automatically recorded in the RECON data set. Unless explicit action is taken, the RECON data set will not contain the necessary data to generate JCL for valid Database Recovery utility processing.
If the named database or area is concurrently being updated by subsystems that are using DBRC and performing database or block level data sharing, then allowing execution to continue without direct DBRC control might jeopardize the integrity and recoverability of the database or area.
System action
Execution continues. The DBRC usage indicator (DUI) in the database is updated to reflect that this database or area is being updated without DBRC.
Programmer response
You can take one of the following actions:
- Use the appropriate DBRC commands used to manually update the RECON data set to ensure that all log data sets required as input for recovery or for change accumulation are recorded.
- Take and record an image copy of the database or area in the RECON data set to provide a new recovery base.
Change the JCL for all subsystems that access this database or area so that they all use the same RECON data sets and DBRC.
