Technote (troubleshooting)
Problem(Abstract)
Situation where a Connect:Direct z/OS system starts a session to Connect:Direct i5/OS:
On first copy attempt the mainframe is getting a SDE0210I allocation error because the destination file on i5/OS is locked.
.
Error SDE0210I will be handled on mainframe side as retryable
according to the alloc.codes in the initparms.
On a retry of this process during session initiation a restart flag will be forwarded.
In the copy step this restart flag will cause the i5/OS side to deny
such a a copy when DISP=MOD is used with error ACOP041I.
Reason: existing data in the destination file may get lost!
There would be no such a problem for a restart of a copy step where DISP=RPL or DISP=SHR was coded.
When mainframe will get back error ACOP041I the process will be set to hold.
Such a process can't be released again, because still the restart flag will be used.
The process must be submitted again to get this working.
Doing a view process in the process queue on mainframe side should show you how the failing process was coded.
These information then can be used to submit a new process.
This is working as designed.
Cause
On a copy restart when using DISP=MOD existing data in the destination file may get lost
Resolving the problem
The process must be submitted again to get this working.
