During a recall of the VSAM data set with name dsname, DFSMShsm has found it necessary to delete the data set’s catalog entry.
If TO BE UNCATALOGED is indicated in the message, this message precedes the operation and serves as a reference in case some unrecoverable error occurs during or after the uncatalog operation and DFSMShsm is unable to recatalog the data set. If DFSMShsm is unable to complete the processing of the data set, no subsequent message will be issued. The lack of a message indicating successful completion of processing means that the recall has failed and DFSMShsm has been unable to recreate a catalog entry for the data set.
If DFSMShsm is able to complete the processing of the data set either successfully or in an error situation, this same message number (ARC0372I) is issued with either the CATALOGED, IMPORTED or RESTORED BY DFSMSdss insert. IMPORTED or RESTORED BY DFSMSdss is used when the recall is a success and the data set has been correctly cataloged. CATALOGED is used when the recall has failed and DFSMShsm has detected the error. When CATALOGED is used, DFSMShsm has cataloged the data set as a non-VSAM data set using a volume serial number of MIGRAT.
This message is only issued for the base cluster even though other components of the sphere may be processed similarly. Even though a failure can occur on an associated alternate index, the recall operation is considered a success. If the recall of an associated alternate index fails, the failure is reported with message ARC0767I. In addition to the ARC0767I message, each successfully recalled alternate index is reported with message ARC0768I.
The recall operation continues. DFSMShsm processing continues.
If a pair of messages with this message number do not exist for the same data set, the recall has not been completed. In this case, the catalog entry will have to be recreated using the IDCAMS DEFINE command with the non-VSAM parameter. A non-VSAM catalog entry should always be redefined, even though a VSAM data set is being processed. MIGRAT is the volume serial number in all cases.
If the data set is SMS managed (the message text begins with SMS VSAM), it is recommend that the catalog entry that you recreate should be for an SMS-managed data set. A data set is considered SMS managed if the STORCLAS keyword is used with the data set DEFINE. If the data set is associated with a management class, the MGMTCLAS keyword should also be used.
The SMS class names to use when redefining the entry can be found in the data set’s migration control data set data set record (MCD). The FIXCDS command is used to display the portion of the MCD record that contains the SMS class names. See z/OS DFSMShsm Diagnosis for the correct location of the class names in the MCD.
