DFS983I I/O ERROR IN DATA BASE xxxxxxxx, PROGRAM xxxxxxxx DURING BACKOUT.
Explanation
An I/O error occurred while emergency restart or dynamic backout was attempting to back out incomplete transactions for the database and program specified. The database is stopped, and processing is allowed to continue against the remaining databases.
This message can be issued with PURGE in the place of the database name. This indicates that the call to purge the buffers used for this backout has failed. Subsequently, to protect database integrity and ensure that all transactions against the database and PSB are backed out, batch backout should be performed.
System action
The database is stopped and normal processing continues.
Operator response
(master terminal) When the recovery and backout are complete, the user should start the database and program with the appropriate master terminal commands.Programmer response
The user should run the Data Base Recovery utility against the database. When the recovery is complete, the Data Base Backout utility should be run, specifying the program indicated in the error message and the same tapes used for input to the emergency restart. Running the Batch Backout utility after this error message might result in message DFS888I being returned from batch backout indicating no backouts exist for PSB xxxxxxxx. If the correct input tapes were used, DFS888I indicates that the prior emergency restart or dynamic backout did successfully backout the incomplete transactions for the database / program name, before the I/O error was incurred.
