CRURRAP Report of Records by Data Set

As an aid to auditing the functions of CRURRAP, the Record Analysis and Processing program produces a summary report showing the source and disposition of all input and all output records. Certain values are developed independently of others, so that summing the subtotals produces a cross-check of the totals.

36 TOTAL RECORDS IN THE NEW EXPORT DATA SET (EXPOUT)

The count of records actually written out is maintained directly by the program at the time the write occurs.

The next major headings identify the source of the records in the new EXPORT data set.

23 RECORDS FORWARDED FROM THE OLD EXPORT DATA SET (EXPIN)

As records are written, their source is identified. Those from the old EXPORT are summed here.

8 CONTROL RECORDS

The EXPORT control records must come from this source; there are no such records written to SMF. As a consequence of this, the IMPORTed catalog will have the same structural definition as the EXPORTed catalog (unless you define a new catalog and IMPORT INTOEMPTY).

15 CATALOG RECORDS

Apart from the control records mentioned above, this accounts for all of the remaining records in the EXPORT data set.

13 CATALOG RECORDS SELECTED FROM THE SMF DATA SET (SMFIN)

As records are written, their source is identified, those from the SMF data are summed here. Not all SMF catalog records in the input stream are included in this count; some may be excluded because they do not meet the selection criteria.

43 TOTAL RECORDS FROM THE OLD EXPORT DATA SET (EXPIN)

This total accounts for all records read from the old EXPORT data set. The next three major headings account for the disposition of these records.

23 RECORDS CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEW EXPORT DATA SET

These are records of catalog entries for which no corresponding SMF records were found. They are simply written from the old EXPORT to the new EXPORT without change.

8 CONTROL RECORDS

All of the control records should be carried to the new EXPORT.

15 CATALOG RECORDS

This is the count of the records in the old, input EXPORT data set excluding the control records. They were written to the new EXPORT.

20 RECORDS SUPERSEDED OR DELETED (BASED ON SMF DATA)

This is a count of the records for which corresponding SMF records were found. The catalog entries for these records were taken from the SMF data.

0 RECORDS REJECTED BECAUSE OF ERRORS

It is extremely unlikely that there are records in the old EXPORT data set that are recognized as being in error. Only the following items are checked by the program:

0 INVALID LENGTH
The record length is part of the logical content of a catalog record. If this length does not actually match the length of the record read, the program recognizes an error and rejects the record.
0 UNRECOGNIZED CATALOG RECORD TYPE
To protect against bad input data and to recognize invalid records, the program checks that the catalog record type is one that is recognized, (nonVSAM or cluster, for example).

31 TOTAL RECORDS FROM THE SMF DATA SET (SMFIN)

This is the count of all records read from the SMF input data sets. The following lines give the disposition of these records.

13 RECORDS CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEW EXPORT DATA SET

As records are written to the new EXPORT data set, their source is identified. Those from SMF are counted here.

18 RECORDS SUPERSEDED OR DELETED BY NEWER SMF DATA

These are the SMF records applicable to the recovery in progress that were either deletion records, causing the catalog entry to be omitted from the new EXPORT data set, or superseded records, that is, those for which SMF records with higher date/time stamps were found.

0 RECORDS REJECTED

Unrecognizable records or records not applicable to this recovery are categorized as follows.

0 NOT AN MVS™ SMF RECORD
The indicator for an MVS SMF record was not on. The record may not be an SMF record at all.
0 NOT AN SMF CATALOG RECORD
The MVS SMF record type was not a 61, 65 or 66.
0 NOT AN SMF CATALOG RECORD FOR THIS CATALOG
The MVS SMF catalog record contained a name that did not match the name of the catalog being recovered.
0 DATE/TIME EARLIER THAN EFFECTIVE START TIME
The SMF record was for the catalog being recovered, but its date and time preceded the specified start date and time less the multi-system clock difference.
0 DATE/TIME LATER THAN EFFECTIVE STOP TIME
The SMF record was for the catalog being recovered, but its date and time followed the specified stop date and time plus the multi-system clock difference.

As a final audit point, the program accounts for all records encountered.

36 TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUT RECORDS

Output records are only those written to the new EXPORT data set. Consequently, this number should match the number of records in that data set.

38 TOTAL OF ALL RECORDS DISCARDED

Discarded records are all those records that were:

Rejected because they were in error, unrecognized or not applicable to this recovery
Superseded by more current SMF records
Most current SMF deletion records resulting in the omission of a catalog entry from the new EXPORT

74 TOTAL OF ALL INPUT RECORDS

This number is the sum of the records read from the SMF input data sets and the EXPORT input data set. It should be the sum of the two lines above.
