DFR3725W THE OLDER MSDBCP IS USED FOR RECOVERY

Explanation

The checkpoint ID of one of the usable MSDB checkpoint data set is of later time stamps than that of the Fast Path checkpoint ID of the failed IMS system. This occurs when the system fails after MSDB checkpoint data set has been finished written, but before the Fast Path checkpoint is updated. Therefore, the MSDBCPx DD statement written to the data set specified in the MSDBOUTn DD statement describes the older MSDB checkpoint data set in the later pair.

System action

IMS DEDB Fast Recovery selects the older MSDB checkpoint data set name in the later pair for the JCL of the MSDB recovery. It is specified for all MSDBCPx DD statements in the data set specified by the MSDBOUTn DD statement.

User response

Check the MSDB checkpoint data set list, and if necessary, confirm the status of the data set.
