Error description

  • The "RECONCILE VOLUME" process in a server-to-server scenario
    may fail on Source server with the following error
    logged in the Activity Log:
    
    02/03/2014 08:18:55      ANR9999D_0037176857

    volume attributes.

    VOLUMES (REPAIR)   completed with a completion state of FAILURE.
    (SESSION:  12345, PROCESS: 123)
    
    
    
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
    An "ASVOL ICVOLHST ADMPROC DBCLI DBSTMT DBEXEC" server trace on
    SOURCE server will show that the problematic volume
    is read from table SS_VOLUME_NAMES, then it is deleted by
    background thread and so it will not be anymore in table
    AS_VOLUME_STATUS,
    causing the error to be shown.
    Here is an example of trace showing the problem:
