DFS0487W THE RECON DATASET USED FOR [DATA BASE dbdname|AREA areaname] HAS CHANGED
Explanation
The database dbdname or areaareaname has been opened for update processing. This message is a warning that the RECON data set being used to record the update logs for the database or area might not contain the most recent recovery generation data for the database or area. DL/I (or Fast Path) open processing for the database or area detected that the RECON data set used might not be the one used during the previous execution to record logs for the database or area. The RECON data set, therefore, might not contain data necessary to generate correct JCL for the database or area recovery processing utilities.
System action
Execution continues. The DBRC usage indicator (DUI) in the database is updated with the identification of the RECON data sets which currently record recovery information.
Programmer response
If the database or area is registered in more than one RECON data set, ensure that the correct one is being used for this execution. The appropriate DBRC commands can be used to manually update the RECON data set to ensure that all logs required as input for recovery or change accumulation are recorded, or an image copy of the database or area should be taken and recorded in the RECON data set to provide a new recovery base.
