The health check has detected one or more catalogs defined
with the IMBED and/or REPLICATE attributes.
Explanation
CHECK(IBMCATALOG,CATALOG_IMBED_REPLICATE) found
one or more catalogs defined with the IMBED attributes, REPLICATE
attributes, or both. The IMBED and REPLICATE attributes were intended
as performance improvements but have proven to be otherwise. They
have proven to waste DASD space and degrade performance. They have
been obsoleted by the newer, cached DASD devices. In some cases, unplanned
outages have occurred. No supported release of z/OS allows you to
define a user catalog or master catalog with either the IMBED or REPLICATE
attributes. IBM intends to drop support for these attributes in the
future.
- AVAILABILITY
- Column reports the status of the catalog.
- YES
- Catalog was processed by the check.
- NO
- Catalog was not available for processing either because the volume
was offline or the volume was reinitialized. Attribute information
could not be returned.
- ERROR
- CSI reported that the catalog entry was in error. Attribute information
could not be returned. Running a DIAGNOSE on the catalog could help
diagnose the problem. For more information about the DIAGNOSE command,
see z/OS DFSMS Access Method Services Commands.
System action
The system continues processing.
Operator response
Report this message to the System Programmer.
System programmer response
Perform EXPORT/IMPORT on the affected
catalogs reported by message IGGHC106I to remove the IMBED and REPLICATE
attributes. For more information about EXPORT/IMPORT of a catalog,
see Chapter 6 ‘Backing up and Recovering Catalogs’ in z/OS DFSMS Managing Catalogs.
Problem determination
See IGGHC106I in the message buffer that
identifies the catalogs defined with the obsolete attributes.
