Recovering from read I/O errors on an archive data set during recovery

You can recover from read I/O errors that occur on an archive log during recovery.

Symptoms

No specific Db2 message is issued; only the z/OS® error recovery program message is issued.

Environment

  • If a second copy of the archive log exists, the second copy is allocated and used.
  • If a second copy of the archive log does not exist, recovery fails.

Resolving the problem

Operator response: If you recover from tape, try recovering by using a different drive. If this approach does not work, contact the system programmer.

System programmer response: Recover to the last image copy or to the RBA of the last quiesce point.
