Hi,

I have a backup(DUMP) job which frequently abends. COuld the reason of the abend be because some of the datasets get migrated.? It gets the following abend
Code:

    USER COMPLETION CODE=0008                                             
   TIME=10.16.10  SEQ=23336  CPU=0000  ASID=00A1                         
   PSW AT TIME OF ERROR  478D1000   00007F80  ILC 2  INTC 0D             
     ACTIVE LOAD MODULE           ADDRESS=00007CC0  OFFSET=000002C0       
     NAME=MUTILITY                                                       
     DATA AT PSW  00007F7A - BF18C17C  0A0D181D  41000048                 
     GR 0: 00000118   1: 80000008                                         
        2: 00000040   3: 00006E00                                         
        4: 009C39B0   5: 009FD098                                         
        6: 009ADFE0   7: 00006E64                                         
        8: 00000000   9: 00006FF8                                         
        A: 00000003   B: 00007E6E                                         
        C: 40007E7C   D: 00006F18                                         
        E: 00FD26D0   F: 00000008                                         
   END OF SYMPTOM DUMP                                                   
  IEF450I E1234BKP DUMP1 E1234BKP - ABEND=S000 U0008 REASON=00000000  692

It gives the following code for the migrated datasets.
ADR740W (001)-ADDXT(01)

I am completely at a loss to find out what the problem could be. Usually the job runs succsessfully when restarted again after 15-20 mins and either gives a return code of 004 or NTUCA (not sure what this means).
However, today it gave a return code of 008 when restarted the 2nd time as well.

I really need some help here.

Thanks

Hi,

If there are 2 dump jobs running at the same time and if both are trying to dum the same dataset, is there any chance of the jobs abending because of contention? I do not think so but wanted to know anyways.

This is not related to the abend I am getting now.

Thanks

Hi,

The job is abending because the first step fo the job scans off all the jobs to be backed up while the 2nd step actually backs up the files. However, between first and second step, a resource management job runs which deletes files which are more than a week old and thus when the 2nd step of the job runs, it does not find some files and abends.

Now my question again. Is it possible that 2 dump jobs can run at the same time without abending if they are backing up the same files.

Another question which I have stated before but have not found a good solution for. Is it possible to avoid backing up those files which have already been backed up. The DSCHA syntax did not work.

Thanks

Yes it is possible and DSCHA processing works as documentedand will do what you want it to. Try reading up on DSCHA and the RESET parameter .
Please note that if your Sysprogs or Storage Admin people find you using the RESET parameter they may be somewhat less than pleased.
