FST720I FORMATTING OF STATISTICS FILE STARTED

Corrective Action: No action is required.

FST721S STATISTICS FILE DYNAMIC ALLOCATION ERROR rc/rsn/dsn

Explanation: Dynamic allocation of the Statistics file dsn failed with the return code rc and reason code rsn.

The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility terminates with the return code 08.

Corrective Action: See the IBM manual MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide to determine the cause of the error, and correct the error accordingly. If not successful, contact BMC Customer Support.

FST722W STATISTICS FILE ALLOCATION ERROR - ACTIVE SMF ID DOES NOT MATCH PARAMETER SMF ID

Explanation: The SMF ID specified for the CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility does not match the active MVS SMF ID. The SMF ID for the CTOFST utility is specified in the input PARM string (parmSmfId). The current MVS SMF ID is specified in IEASMFxx of SYS1.PARMLIB(cpuSmfId). These SMF IDs must match.

No error is issued when the systems share the catalog, where the file is cataloged, and the disk, where the file was allocated.

A problem starting the Statistics task, in Control-O monitor, occurs when the systems do not share the catalogs or the disk. This usually occurs when the file should have been cataloged in the MASTER catalog of the target system (parmSmfId) and not the Master catalog of the system where the job was executed (cpuSmfId). In such a case, messages IKJ56228I, CTO196S, and CTO185S will be issued and Control-O monitor will continue to work without collecting statistics.   

The CTOFST utility terminates with a condition code of 04.

Corrective Action: Verify that the file was cataloged in the correct CATALOG. If it was not, DELETE the file and rerun the job on the correct system, where parmSmfId and cpuSmfId are the same. After reallocating the Statistics file start Control-O monitor or issue command ‘F control, STARTSTAT’ to start collecting the Control-O statistics.

FST723S STATISTICS FILE IN USE. FORMATTING CANNOT BE PERFORMED

Explanation: The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility failed to format the Statistics file because the file is allocated to another user. The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility attempts to allocate the Statistics file with DISP set to OLD.

The utility terminates with a return code of 08.

Corrective Action: Make sure that no user is allocated to the Statistics file, and rerun the job.

FST724E OPEN OF STATISTICS FILE FAILED

Explanation: The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility could not successfully open the Statistics file.

The utility terminates with a return code of 08.

Corrective Action: Look for previous MVS error messages regarding the opening of the Statistics file. Correct the error and rerun the job.

FST725E OPEN OF MESSAGES FILE FAILED

Explanation: The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility unsuccessfully attempted to open the Messages file specified in the SYSPRINT DD statement. An OPEN request was issued to the Messages file but was unsuccessful. A possible cause is that the SYSPRINT DD statement may not have been specified in the job stream.

The utility terminates with return code 08.

Corrective Action: Look for earlier MVS error messages regarding the opening of the Messages file. Correct the error, and rerun the job.

FST726S FORMATTING OF STATISTICS FILE ENDED WITH ERROR

The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility terminates with a return code of 08.

Explanation: A WRITE request failed during the formatting of the Statistics file.

The CTOFST Statistics Formatting utility terminates with a return code of 08.
