DFS4409A REPOSITORY CHANGE LIST IS NOT ACCESSIBLE - IMS RESOURCES MAY BE OUT OF SYNC

Explanation

During IMS restart (warm start or emergency restart), IMS was unable to access the IMSRSC repository to determine whether a change list existed.
This message is preceded by the following message:
DFS4401E RM CSLRPxxx REQUEST FAILED, RC=xxxxxxxx 
         RSN=xxxxxxxx ERRORTEXT= 

The DFS4401E message indicates why the repository is not accessible. For example, the repository is not accessible if the repository is stopped, the Repository Server is down, or RM is down.

If the change list does not exist in the repository, there is no problem.

If the change list exists in the repository, the IMS runtime resource definitions are out of synchronization with the stored resource definitions in the repository. The change list contains the list of resources and descriptors that were imported while IMS was down.

System action

During IMS restart, IMS does not create or update resources and descriptors that are listed in the change list. The change list in the IMSRSC repository is not deleted. The change list will be processed and deleted the next time IMS restarts.

User response

Correct the problem, shut down the IMS, and then restart it, so that the change list processing can be completed successfully and the change list is deleted.
Alternatively, if you do not want to shut down IMS, you can take one of the following actions:
  • Issue the QUERY DB, QUERY DBDESC, QUERY PGM, QUERY PGMDESC, QUERY RTC, QUERY RTCDESC, QUERY TRAN, or QUERY TRANDESC command by using time stamps to determine which resource definitions are outdated. Then, import those resources by using the IMPORT DEFN SOURCE(REPO) command.
  • Import all resources again, by issuing the command: IMPORT DEFN SOURCE(REPO) NAME(*) TYPE(ALL) OPTION(UPDATE).

If an IMPORT DEFN SOURCE(REPO) command is issued to update the IMS runtime definitions with the stored resource definitions in the repository, a DELETE DEFN TYPE(CHGLIST) command must be issued to delete the IMS change list from the repository.
