DFS4497E DBD MEMBER dbd_name USES ISAM, WHICH IS NOT A SUPPORTED ACCESS METHOD.

Explanation

The IMS Catalog Populate utility (DFS3PU00) encountered a DBD member for a database that uses the ISAM access type. IMS does not support the ISAM access type.

System action

The DFS3PU00 utility does not create a record in the IMS catalog for the DBD member. The DFS3PU00 utility continues inserting other records in the IMS catalog and ends with return code 4.

Programmer response

No action is necessary; however, no metadata about the ISAM database is stored in the IMS catalog. If the ISAM database is no longer used by your installation, consider removing the input statements for the ISAM database from the input to the DBD Generation utility so that the next time you rebuild the DBD and ACB libraries, you do not receive this message.
