DFSMSrmm JOURNAL FILE IS LOCKED DURING task function REQUEST FOR volser - ENTER "RETRY" OR "CANCEL"

Explanation

The DFSMSrmm journal file is locked while a task is calling DFSMSrmm to release a volume. DFSMSrmm locked the journal data set when the operator replied 'L' to message EDG2103D.

In the message text:

task
The job or started task.
function
The function requested of the DFSMSrmm subsystem. Can be: LIST, RELEASE, or CHANGE
volser
The volume serial number of the tape being released.

System action

DFSMSrmm waits for the operator's response: RETRY or CANCEL.

Operator response

Check your installation's procedures for backing up the DFSMSrmm control data set and clearing the journal. If you are instructed to back up, use EDGHSKP and specify the BACKUP parameter to perform backup and clear the journal. Then enter RETRY to update the DFSMSrmm control data set. If you are not instructed to back up, enter CANCEL.

System programmer response

If the operator entered CANCEL, advise your tape librarian or storage administrator that DFSMSrmm control data set entries might be incomplete. Schedule the control data set back up processing to clear the journal. Use EDGHSKP, PARM=BACKUP to perform backup and to clear the journal.
