Recovering from errors on the JT archive log

If there is a write error on the JT archive log, follow this procedure:

  1. Stop IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.
  2. Rename the data set to a temporary name.
  3. Allocate a new JT archive-log data set.
  4. Copy the old data set into the new data set. This can be done by IEBGENER or IDCAMS REPRO.
  5. Start IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.

If there is a read error on the JT archive log, follow this procedure:

  1. Stop IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.
  2. Delete the data set, and allocate a new JT archive-log data set.
  3. Start IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS, and submit a daily plan job as soon as possible. Current® plan recoverability is jeopardized while you are running an incomplete JT archive log.
Attention: Do not start IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS with the CURRPLAN(NEW) keyword specified on the JTOPTS statement until a new current plan is taken over by IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS.
