Error description

  • When generating JCL to create an Image Copy from SLB, the
    following messages may be encountered:
    ARYS423E - The following object was selected but does not exist
    in the Backup:
    ARYS324I - Tablespace SAMACIC1.CICSNTF partition 001
    ARYS355W - Build of object profile has resulted in no selected
    TS/IX objects.
    ......
    If the JCL has already been generated, the following messages
    may appear during execution:
    ARYS288E - Dataset for Tablespace ARYD320.ARYES1 partition ALL
    did not exist at the time of system backup.
    ARYS840E - It may have been created with the DEFINE NO
    parameter.
    

Local fix

  • The customer may restart the backup process multiple times until
    the backup SSID displayed on the Restore System Display panel
    (ARY$REST) matches the Subsystem value in the object report
    header.
    
    Alternatively, the repository record can be manually corrected
    to ensure that the backup member matches the Subsystem value in
    the object report.
    To perform this correction:
    # Open the _System backups SSIDs VSAM repository file_ (DD name
    ARYSBSSD in JCL) in edit mode.
    # The record structure is as follows:
    profile name + creator + backup time (packed format) + backup
    member + additional metadata + all other detected data-sharing
    members + ...
    # Identify the correct record using HEX display mode (HEX ON)
    and locate the backup timestamp (e.g., 20260730010203 if backup
    time is 07-30-2026 01:02:03).
    # Update the member name immediately following the timestamp to
    match the Subsystem value in the object report.
    # Adjust the list of data-sharing members accordingly to
    maintain consistency.
    
    After saving the dataset:
    # Open the Restore System Display panel (ARY$REST)
    # Verify that the backup SSID reflects the corrected member
    # Retry the Image Copy creation
