DFS3295A READ BACKWARD NOT ALLOWED FOR BACK OUT FROM IMS CHECKPOINT

Explanation

Batch Backout is executing with the READBACK option. At an IMS checkpoint, Batch Backout encountered a UOR and attempted to back it out. However, Batch Backout did not find the original log records for that UOR.

Batch Backout cannot use the read-backward technique to perform a backout from the information in the system checkpoint. Batch Backout terminates without performing a backout.

Programmer response

Do either of the following:
  • Remove the READBACK statement from the SYSIN data set. Batch Backout will perform the backout by buffering the changes in virtual storage.
  • In the input to Batch Backout, include the log data set that was active when the application needing backout was run.
