CATALOG SEARCH FUNCTION CATALOG text

Explanation

text is one of the following:
  • MULTI-LEVEL ALIAS HAS DETECTED AN INVALID MASTER CATALOG RECORD NAMED recname
  • MULTI-LEVEL ALIAS FACILITY HAS DETECTED A DUPLICATE ALIAS: aliasname

During a multi-level alias facility initialization or rebuilding an incorrect alias or user catalog record was found in the master catalog. The multi-level alias facility did not correctly initialize or rebuild, and the catalog search function is now impaired.

In the message text:
recname
The incorrect record name.
aliasname
The alias entry in the catalog that occurs more than once.

System action

For the invalid master catalog record, the system the system creates a SYS1.DUMP data set and then corrects the multi-level alias table.

For the duplicate alias, no dump is created and the duplicate alias remains in the table.

Operator response

Notify your system programmer; after the programmer corrects the incorrect record, issue the command MODIFY CATALOG,MLA(REFRESH) to restart the catalog address space.

System programmer response

These messages indicate an error in the master catalog. Perform a DIAGNOSE of the master catalog and correct any errors discovered. Duplicate alias names listed are a result of the alias name in the association list of more than one catalog user connector record. While the actual alias record in the catalog may point to a specific user catalog, there is at least one other user catalog whose association list contains the same alias. To correct this error you can delete the alias name, define it relating it to the incorrect user catalog name, then delete the alias again and define it relating it to the correct user catalog name.
