The tracking information for a DFSMS instance might look as follows:
‘SMS-I:3 LSPACE MSG= ’
It
can be broken down into several parts:
- The first portion of the tracking information will be set to ‘SMS-’
to identify this as a DFSMS instance.
- Appended to this is an error category, of "E" for error, "W" for
warning, or "I" for informational, followed by a colon.
- Appended to the colon is a numeric value that will identify the
reason for the recorded instance. These values are
- 1 - EAV migration: EADSCB=OK keyword was not specified
on an invoking program where the target volume was non-EAV. The invoking program fails if the target volume is an
EAV.
- The invoking program would fail if the target volume was an EAV.
The following section of the tracking information indicates the error
that would have occurred. This instance is recorded in the tracker
as an error message.
- 2 - EAV migration. Formatted output display may contain
28-bit cylinder numbers. Program usage of these track addresses may
need to be changed. Use macro TRKADDR for the comparison and manipulation
of 28-bit cylinder numbers. This instance is recorded in the tracker
as a warning message.
- 3 - EAV migration. The new function is available on the
invoking program. The identified program may want to exploit the available
new function. This instance is recorded in the tracker as an informational
message.
- The remaining tracking information must be an EBCDIC value that
describes the function executing when the tracker recorded the instance.
In the example above, the ‘SMS-I:3 LSPACE MSG= ’ tracking
information describes a DFSMS instance as an informational instance
where new function is available that the invoking program might want
to exploit. The function running when the tracker recorded this instance
was LSPACE MSG=.
