ARC1320I
DATA SET NOT ELIGIBLE FOR BACKUP

Explanation

A request sent to DFSMShsm to back up the data set identified in the preceding ARC1001I or associated ARC0734I failed because one of the following occurred:
  • The data set was cataloged on the wrong volume.

    A data set being cataloged on the wrong volume can result from processing an uncataloged data set that has the same name as a cataloged data set.

    Another possibility is that DFSMShsm scheduled a retry of the backup of a data set in use. When the retry was attempted, the catalog entry for the data set indicated that the data set was on a different volume, with a different device type, or using a different access category (VSAM vs non-VSAM) from the data set of the same name at the time the retry was scheduled.

  • The data set is a multivolume or multivolume extended format data set.

    Under DFSMShsm movement, the only multivolume data sets that are supported are SMS-managed VSAM data sets. Under DFSMSdss movement, SMS-managed non-VSAM data sets are also supported if they are not protected by a discrete RACF® profile and if USERDATASETSERIALIZATION is used. Multiple volume standard user label data sets and multiple volume unmovable data sets are not supported by either data movement method.

  • The device type of the volume on which the data set resides and as indicated by the catalog, is different from the device type of the same volume currently mounted.
  • A VSAM data set contains an invalid expiration date. The expiration date obtained from the catalog contains a year greater than 2155. This data set is not supported.
  • The non-VSAM data set has a format-8 DSCB.
  • The Catalog has a format-8 DSCB.

System action

The backup operation for the data set ends. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Notify the storage administrator to change the environment to allow backup. If the data set is cataloged on the wrong volume, the storage administrator can correct the catalog and retry the command. Multivolume data sets can only be backed up under the restrictions above. To process an unsupported multivolume data set, use another method. If the device type of the volume, as indicated in the catalog, is incorrect, correct the catalog entry and retry the command. If the data set is being updated by another processor in a multiple processing unit environment, review the present status of the data set and proceed accordingly. If the VSAM data set contains an invalid expiration date, change the expiration date in the catalog to a year less than 2155.
