DFS4651E ALTERGRP GROUP NAME IS NOT DEFINED OR INVALID, BUT DBD dedbname IS SHRLEVEL=2|3

Explanation

During DEDB Alter utility processing of the ALTERAREA function, an unexpected status code was returned on the specified call, which attempted to update the shadow area data sets. The DEDB Alter utility was run against a DEDB database that is defined as SHRLEVEL=2 or SHRLEVEL=3 in DBRC. However, the ALTERGRP=xxxxx parameter, which defines the DEDB Alter data-sharing group, is not defined in the FASTPATH section of the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member.

When the ALTERGRP=xxxxx is not defined, the DEDB database is changed only in the local IMS system. Because the DEDB database is defined as a shared database, the DEDB Alter function is not allowed.

System action

The DEDB Alter utility terminates without performing the requested DEDB Alter function.

System programmer response

Add the ALTERGRP=xxxxx parameter to the <SECTION=FASTPATH> section of the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member. Restart the IMS system to join the ALTERGRP=xxxxx DEDB Alter data-sharing group. Rerun the DEDB Alter utility.
