ARC0686I
MANAGEMENT CLASS mgtclassname, ONCE ASSOCIATED WITH [DELETED] DATA SET dsname, IS NOT AVAILABLE.

Explanation

While DFSMShsm was processing SMS-managed data set dsname with the EXPIREBV command, it detected that the active SMS configuration did not contain management class mgtclassname.
  • If the message contains DELETED, data set dsname is not currently cataloged; management class mgtclassname was associated with the data set when the data set was last backed up.
  • If the message does not contain DELETED, data set dsname is currently cataloged and associated with management class mgtclassname.

System action

In either case, DFSMShsm cannot determine how to expire the cataloged backup version(s) that may exist for the data set; no such versions are expired.

The EXPIREBV command continues with any backup versions identified as uncataloged.

Programmer response

After the EXPIREBV command completes, determine the contents of the active configuration. If there are many such messages, it may be that the wrong configuration was activated.

If data set dsname is DELETED, it may be that mgtclassname was deleted from the SMS configuration after dsname was backed up, then deleted. The management class can be redefined, at least temporarily, to delete the backup versions using the EXPIREBV command; or you can use the BDELETE command to delete specific versions.
