EDG6424E
FORWARD RECOVERY START POINT NOT FOUND IN JOURNAL

Explanation

During EDGBKUP forward recovery of the DFSMSrmm control data set, DFSMSrmm found that the journal did not contain the records that match to the control data set that is being recovered.

This is the result of using the wrong DFSMSrmm control data set, the wrong journal, or running EDGUTIL on the control data set before forward recovery. If concatenated journal backups have been input to EDGBKUP, this message applies to all the data sets in the concatenation. DFSMSrmm was unable to find the journal records to match the control data set. There might be no journal records that are more recent than the restored control data set backup, or the journal records created since the start of the control data set backup are not present in the journal concatenation.

During SMFIN forward recovery, journal records are created from SMF records. This might have caused the JOURNAL DD entry specified in the message to have been created.

System action

The EDGBKUP utility continues with the forward recovery request and sets return code 4. If any journal records have a more recent time stamp than the control data set, they are used for forward recovery.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

Ensure that the correct DFSMSrmm control data set and journal have been used for this recovery request. To see if any journal records have been processed, look for the EDG6410I, EDG6411I, and EDG6412I messages in the SYSPRINT file. Use the information in message EDG6431I to check the control data set and journal time stamps. If the control data set time stamp is between the start and end times from the journal, all possible records have been recovered from the journal.

You can ignore this error if you understand why the situation occurred. For example, if you know that you might have lost a particular backup of the DFSMSrmm control data set or journal, you can ignore this error. To respond to the error, you should select the correct backups and retry recovery. Run the EDGUTIL utility with VERIFY(ALL). When this completes with return code zero, the DFSMSrmm control data set error indicators are reset.

If the control data set backup was created using the BACKUP(DSS) option, any restore of the control data set must use the journal backup taken at the same time as the control data set backup. If you do not use the journal backup taken at the same time, you will have missing journal records. To correct the error, add the name of the journal backup that should be used. For recovery from the latest control data set backup, use the latest journal backup and the active journal.
