DFS3126W RDS DATA SET REFORMAT REQUIRED DURING NEXT RESTART

Explanation

A write error occurred on the restart data set (RDS) during a checkpoint. The operation continues because the RDS data set is not required during online execution except to save information needed for the next restart. However, the next restart will access the disk log to obtain information to restart the system. At this time a reformat of the RDS data set must be done.

System action

The operation continues, but the system will stop logging data to the RDS data set. The system will shut down normally when instructed to do so.

Programmer response

Check the allocation of the restart data set. The RDS allocation needs to be large enough to contain at least 90 blocks reserved for RDS1 components BCPT, RRE, SIDX, and LCRE.

During the next restart of the system, reformat the RDS data set by specifying FORMAT RS in the restart command. If this problem persists, you must perform a scratch, reallocation, and reformat of the RDS.
