KS3T830E SERVICE CHECKPOINT DATASET STORAGE EXHAUSTED

Sometimes if you continue to issue action requests through Storage Toolkit without managing the buildup of old results and unused requests, it can result in the VSAM checkpoint database run out of space.

Issue:

The KS3T830E message is displayed, indicating that the VSAM checkpoint database has run out of space.

Workaround:

This condition can arise when you are using the Storage Toolkit, which is described in the User's Guide. You use the toolkit in the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal to issue action requests (commands or batch jobs) in the mainframe environment. When you issue action requests, you must manage the buildup of old results and unused requests. Otherwise, this data can build up and cause the VSAM checkpoint database to run out of space. The dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit include a General tab that has several options to help you manage the buildup of requests and results:

  • Delete request and results after one run: Select this option to cause deletion of this action request and any results, after the action request completes.
  • Delete after (days): This value determines the number of days after which the results of a toolkit action request are deleted.
  • Maximum output lines: This value determines the number of lines that are saved from the execution of the command or batch job.

See the description of the General tab in the Storage Toolkit chapter of the IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage: User's Guide for detailed information. If you choose not to use these options, you can manually delete old results and unused requests before they build up.
