DFS888I NO DATA BASE RECORDS FOUND FOR PSB psbname (AFTER CHECKPOINT checkpoint id) (FOR REGION region id)

Explanation

The log data set supplied contained no database log records for the PSB specified.

If the input log was created by an online IMS subsystem, this message means that no UOR was found which meets the requirements for backout by the Batch Backout utility. If no control statements are input to Batch Backout, the utility will back out only deferred backouts for the PSB in the execute statement.

If the application being backed out is a batch job, database data sets that were opened by the failed batch job but not successfully closed are reopened and then closed by the Batch Backout utility, even though there are no log records requiring backout.

The text AFTER CHECKPOINT checkpoint-id appears only if the log is from a batch job using checkpoints, and a checkpoint record (type 41) is found for the correct PSB. If a checkpoint is present in the message, it is always the last checkpoint-id found. If you specified a CHKPT statement in the SYSIN data set, and if the checkpoint in the message is different from your checkpoint, then one of the following occurred:
  • IRLM was used during the update.
  • Another type 41 record exists after the one you specified, and no type 5X records exist between your checkpoint-id and the end of the data set.

Programmer response

Check the input log data sets to be sure that the correct log data sets are being supplied to the utility. A frequent cause for this message to be displayed is the use of logs from the wrong job or the wrong time period.
