DFS036I BATCH BACKOUT /NOT REQUIRED/IS REQUIRED/ FOR jobname
Explanation
This message indicates whether batch backout is
required for a batch job that is terminating abnormally. If batch
backout is not required, the application program terminated abnormally
for one of the following reasons:
- No database updates were made
- The job has no log
- The dynamic backout in batch ran successfully.
If batch backout is required, the application program makes database updates, but no CHKPT checkpoint call is made. Message DFS681I is not issued.
Batch backout can also be required for a job where there have been no updates but where GET TYPE calls resulted in extended pointer set corrections.
System action
The batch job terminated.
Programmer response
If a batch backout is required, run the Batch Backout utility. Rerunning the backout from the beginning or using XRST is your or your application's option; there are no IMS integrity issues after backout is done successfully.
