EDG4000D
JOURNAL FILE IS LOCKED DURING action FOR volser BY jobname, stepname, ddname; ENTER "RETRY" OR "CANCEL"

Explanation

An attempt to update the DFSMSrmm control data set has been made. The ddname for jobname stepname was being opened or closed while the journal is locked. DFSMSrmm locked the journal data set when the operator replied 'L' to message EDG2103D.

In the message text:

action
The possible values for action are OPEN, CLOSE, EOV, and LABEL. The value indicates the operation that the application or system is performing.
volser
This is the volume serial number.
job_name
This is the name of a job identified to a system.
stepname
This is the name of a step within a job.
ddname
This is the data definition name.

System action

The system waits for the operator to reply either RETRY or CANCEL.

Operator response

Check your procedures for backing up the DFSMSrmm control data set and clearing the journal. If your installation procedures instruct you to do backing up, follow the steps for it. Make sure that EDGHSKP is only used with the BACKUP parameter specified and afterwards enter RETRY to retry the update of the DFSMSrmm control data set information.

If you are not instructed to perform back up processing and RETRY, enter CANCEL. When you enter CANCEL, the following table describes possible outcomes.

If the action is DFSMSrmm
CLOSE Does not complete updates to the control data set made at CLOSE time. This results in missing information in the control data set.
OPEN or LABEL and DFSMSrmm is running in WARNING or RECORD-ONLY mode Continues processing.
OPEN or LABEL and DFSMSrmm is running in PROTECT mode Rejects the current volume and the system issues another mount request if the request is for a scratch volume. If the journal locked condition continues, the operator must use the MVS™ CANCEL command to fail the job. When the function is OPEN or LABEL, DFSMSrmm requests the failure of the OPEN request. See z/OS DFSMS Installation Exits for information about how the request is failed.
EOV and DFSMSrmm is running in WARNING or RECORD-ONLY mode Continues processing.
EOV for the current volume and DFSMSrmm is running in PROTECT mode Continues processing. The job continues. Updates to the control data set made at EOV time are not completed. This results in missing information in the control data set.
EOV for the next volume and DFSMSrmm is running in PROTECT mode Rejects the volume. If the request is non-specific (a scratch volume), DFSMSrmm rejects the volume and the system issues another mount request. The operator must use the MVS CANCEL command to fail the job. When the function is OPEN or LABEL, DFSMSrmm requests the failure of the OPEN request. See z/OS DFSMS Installation Exits for information about how the request is failed.

Programmer response

If the operator entered CANCEL, advise your tape librarian or storage administrator that DFSMSrmm control data set entries might be incomplete. Advise your System Programmer to schedule the control data set back up processing to clear the journal. Use EDGHSKP,PARM=BACKUP to back up the control data set and to clear the journal. Do not specify any other EDGHSKP parameters. Then resubmit the job.
