Tracking information

z/OS DFSMSdfp Advanced Services
SC23-6861-01

The tracking information for a DFSMS instance might look as follows:
‘SMS-I:3 LSPACE MSG= ’
It can be broken down into several parts:
  1. The first portion of the tracking information will be set to ‘SMS-’ to identify this as a DFSMS instance.
  2. Appended to this is an error category, of "E" for error, "W" for warning, or "I" for informational, followed by a colon.
  3. 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.
  4. 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=.
