Corrupt Symphony file recovery

Explains the symptoms of Symphony file corruption and links you to tasks that can recover the file on the master domain manager, fault-tolerant agent, or lower domain manager.

Symphony file corruption is a rare event, and a potential corruption must be verified before taking action. Following are common symptoms of the file corruption:
  • A specific message informing you that the Symphony file is corrupt.
  • A shutdown of various processes (especially batchman) with error messages referring to problems with the Symphony file in the stdlist.

The normal reason for the corruption of the Symphony file is a full file system. This can be avoided by regular monitoring of the file system where IBM Workload Scheduler is installed.

The procedure is different, depending on the location of the corrupt Symphony file.
