DFS4548E THE IMS DIRECTORY CANNOT BE UPDATED BY THE CATALOG PURGE UTILITY EXCEPT IN A BATCH JOB.

Explanation

The IMS Catalog Purge utility must update the IMS directory, but the IMS system under which the utility is running might also be using the directory without any serialization with the utility. To prevent conflicts between the online IMS system and the utility, the utility is not permitted to run.

System action

The IMS directory was not updated, and the IMS Catalog Purge utility ended with return code 12.

System programmer response

Run the IMS Catalog Purge utility as a batch job in a DL/I or DBB region, and ensure that no active IMS systems with ACBMGMT=CATALOG specified in the DFSDFxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set are also running.
