Exception Handling

If the backup job abends in the first step (BACKUP), the status of the backup mission is changed to ENDED‑NOTOK. When this happens, check why the abend occurred and correct the problem. After the problem has been corrected, rerun the backup mission from the Active Missions file.

If the backup job abends during the second step (ANALYZE), the status of the backup mission remains BACKUP IN PROCESS. When this happens, reset the backup mission status to ENDED through the BKPRESET job in the Control‑D JCL library. For more information on the BKPRESET utility, refer to the Control-D and Control-V utilities chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

If the backup mission ended NOTOK because one or more CDAM files were not backed up successfully, reorder the mission to back up only the CDAM files that were not backed up successfully during the previous run. Rerunning the same mission (without reordering it) reprocesses all CDAM files of the previous run including files that were successfully backed up.
