AKD17901E dsname Allocation failed

Explanation

Audit attempts to extract information in the Small Data Set Packing data set for audit purposes Sometimes the SDSP is temporarily in use by HSM and the allocation will fail. Audit attempts to allocate the data set again after all others have been processed (usually with success). If the dsname is displayed twice in the run time messages, the audit of the SDSP may not be accurate.

User response

If the dsname above is displayed twice then Audit Error 1118C may be erroneously diagnosed. However audit extracts the SDSP information again for verification purposes to insure it's accuracy. If you see an unusually large number of 1118C errors in the MCDS audit, contact support.
