EDG2103D
PERMANENT JOURNAL ERROR - REPLY "R" TO RETRY, "I" TO IGNORE, "D" TO DISABLE OR "L" TO LOCK

Explanation

The DFSMSrmm subsystem encountered an error performing I/O to the journal. If the journal is full, DFSMSrmm issues message EDG2104E.

System action

The current task waits for a reply.

Operator response

The operator replies For the action And the result is
D Disable DFSMSrmm completes the DFSMSrmm control data set update and disables the journal. Updates can be made to the DFSMSrmm control data set, but DFSMSrmm does not allow further updates to the journal until BACKUP is run to back up the DFSMSrmm control data set and to clear the journal. Forward recovery might not be possible because some journal records are missing as a result of the journal being disabled. If there are inconsistencies in the DFSMSrmm control data set after the restore is performed, run the DFSMSrmm utility EDGUTIL VERIFY(ALL) to validate the control data set.
I Ignore DFSMSrmm completes the DFSMSrmm control data set update. DFSMSrmm does not update the journal and issues this message for subsequent updates. Forward recovery might not be possible because some journal records are missing as a result of the journal being disabled.
L Lock DFSMSrmm does not allow updates to the DFSMSrmm control data set until BACKUP is run to back up the DFSMSrmm control data set and to clear the journal. DFSMSrmm fails any requests that result in an update to the DFSMSrmm control data set. For tape open and close requests, DFSMSrmm issues WTOR EDG4000D which prompts the operator for a RETRY or CANCEL reply. DFSMSrmm issues EDG3205E in response to a DFSMSrmm TSO subcommand request. If the error occurred during inventory management, the utility issues a message and processing stops.
R Retry DFSMSrmm retries the same DFSMSrmm control data set update and the journal update. This reply might correct an update failure resulting from an I/O error caused by some temporary hardware fault that has now been cleared. If the retry fails, or if the original update failed because the journal was full, then select one of the other replies to this message.

System programmer response

Use the DFSMSrmm EDGHSKP utility with the BACKUP parameter to back up the DFSMSrmm control data set and clear the journal. You must reply to this message before the DFSMSrmm control data set can be backed up. The control data set remains reserved until you reply to this message. The recommended reply is L. If the journal is deleted and reallocated to recover from the error, you must stop and start DFSMSrmm before journaling can resume.
