This group includes messages for the Control-M for z/OS, Control-M/Assist, Control-M/Links for z/OS, and Control-M/Restart products.

JOB501I CTMJOB STARTED JOB=username/jobID TYPE=jobType

Explanation: This information message indicates that the CTMJOB program has started.

The CTMJOB program is usually activated as part of the New Day procedure.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

JOB502S OPEN OF SCHEDULE DATA FAILED. DDNAME "DAJOB"

Explanation: Open of scheduling tables data set failed (the DAJOB DD statement).

This error message is issued by the CTMJOB program, which is usually activated as part of the New Day procedure, and could be due to one of the following:

The CTMJOB program will end with errors.

Corrective Action: Correct the JCL for the job or CLIST.

JOB503S OPEN OF USER DATE CONTROL RECORD FAILED - DDNAME "DACHK"

Explanation: Open of the file containing the User Date Control Record failed (the DACHK DD statement). Issued by the CTMJOB program which is usually activated by the New Day procedure.

Possible causes are:

The CTMJOB program will end with errors.

Corrective Action: Correct the JCL for the job or CLIST.

JOB504S USER DATE CONTROL RECORD IS EMPTY

Explanation: The data set described by the DACHK DD statement is empty.

The CTMJOB program will end with errors.

Corrective Action: Correct the JCL for the job or CLIST.

JOB505S PREVIOUS RUN OF CTMJOB DID NOT FINISH OK

Explanation: A previous run of the CTMJOB program did not finish OK. This program is usually activated as part of the New Day procedure.

Date-2 and date-3 (or date-4 and date-5) of the Date Control Record are not equal. Possible causes are:

For more information, see the Control-M chapter in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

The CTMJOB program will end with errors.

Corrective Action: Change date-3 (or date-5), positions 25-30 (or positions 50-55) in the Date Control Record (the DACHK DD statement) to the values of date-2 (or date-4).

To rerun the same daily, correct all the dates to the value of the day before. Be careful not to order the same job twice during a rerun on the same day. We recommend that you delete the ordered jobs from the Active Jobs file and then run the daily again.

If the previous abend happened after many jobs had been ordered, we recommend requesting the remaining jobs manually using CLIST CTMJOBRQ.

JOB506S SCHEDULING FAILED FOR MEMBER memName

Explanation: Scheduling failed for the memName member. This error message is issued by the CTMJOB program which is usually activated as part of the New Day procedure.

The IOA Log or the job output should contain an additional message concerning the reason for failure.

The job order of the memName member is not placed in the Active Jobs file. Depending on the severity of the problem, the New Day procedure will continue to the next job order or terminate with the condition code 08.

Corrective Action: Check the IOA Log or the job output for the reason.

JOB507S LAST MONTHLY SCHEDULING DATE GREATER THAN THE CURRENT ORIGINAL SCHEDULING DATE

Explanation: Invalid last monthly Scheduling Date.

The last monthly Scheduling Date (positions 18-23) in the User Date Control Record is greater than the current original Scheduling Date (positions 1-6). Possible causes are:

For more details refer to the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

Explanation: The last monthly scheduling date is more than 28 days ago.

Possible causes are:

For more details refer to the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

Program execution stops with a condition code of 08.

Corrective Action: Correct the dates in the User Date Control Record (the DACHK DD statement).

JOB50BS ERROR READING SCHEDULE DATA. DDNAME DAJOB. ERROR TYPE IS error_type

Explanation: You invoked a Daily job (either System or User) that has a concatenation of Control-M Definition Tables in DAJOB input DD statements. When accessing one of the DD statements in this concatenation, a problem occurred — either an ABEND (error type ABEND) or an Input/Output error (error type IO ERROR). This message is usually followed with z/OS system messages that contain additional information about the ABEND or Input/Output error.

The Daily job terminates with an error. Jobs from the tables in the DAJOB DD statements prior to the problematic one are processed. All remaining DAJOB DD statements are not processed.

Corrective Action: Analyze the ABEND or Input/Output error data, perform the required corrections, and try to rerun the Daily job to order the remaining jobs. If an Enhanced Checkpoint Date Record is used, the Daily job will automatically start from the point where it stopped in the previous run. If an Enhanced Checkpoint Date Record is not used, then before the Daily job rerun, the tables that have already been processed (that is, DD statements prior to the problematic one in the DAJOB concatenation) should be temporary commented or removed from the Daily job JCL.

JOB50CE Additional_Input/Output_error_data

Explanation: This message contains additional information about an Input/Output error, in SYNADAF data format. It follows the JOB50BS message when the error type is IO ERROR. See the description of message JOB50BS.

Corrective Action: See message JOB50BS.

JOB510S SEVERE ERROR IN THE SCHEDULING DATA - NOTIFY THE IOA ADMINISTRATOR

Explanation: Severe error in the scheduling data.

This message is produced when scheduling tables (described by the DAJOB DD statement) contain erroneous data. It can be due to the following:

'The program terminates with a condition code of 08.

Corrective Action: Try to restore the table to its original state. If you cannot, prepare the Control-M monitor full output and have your system programmer contact BMC Customer Support.

If it is a batch Daily using a permanent Date Control Record, correct the contents of the record before running the Daily again. If issued during a User Daily or New Day procedure, see message JOB505S for further details.

JOB511I OID=orderId ODATE odate TASK=owner / systemId / jobName PLACED ON AJF

The following variable TASK fields are displayed:

Corrective Action: No action is required.

JOB512W LIBRARY lib SHOULD BE COMPRESSED

Explanation: The library specified in the PDS parameter contains fewer free tracks than the number specified in the MINIMUM parameter.

The PDS and MINIMUM parameters are used for automatically compressing a library. If the MINIMUM condition is satisfied, then the CTMJOB program will issue this message and the job order will be placed in the Active Jobs file.

For more details, refer to the Control-M chapter of the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.

The job order will be placed in the Active Jobs file.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

JOB513I SCHEDULE FAILED FOR number CONTROL-D CATEGORIES

Explanation: There is insufficient storage for processing the job order.

The program terminates with a condition code of 08.

JOB515S ERROR IN SCHEDULING DATA - TOO MANY CARDS FOR ONE JOB

Explanation: Too many statements for one job. Scheduling data used to describe the job order are too large to be processed by Control-M.

The job order will not be placed on the Active Jobs file. The New Day procedure will terminate with a condition code of 08.

Corrective Action: Check the contents of the job order, using the Online Scheduling Facility and remove unnecessary scheduling data. Prepare the Control-M monitor full output and contact BMC Customer Support.

JOB516S ERROR IN SCHEDULING DATA - FIRST CARD SHOULD START WITH "D"

Explanation: There is invalid scheduling data in the first data set described by the DAJOB DD statement.

The first statement of a valid scheduling table should start with D. This could be due to one of the following:

The CTMJOB program ends with errors.

Corrective Action: Check contents of the data set described by the DAJOB DD statement and if the problem is not solved, check to find the person who may have manually changed the scheduling data.

JOB517S SCHEDULING DATA NOT AVAILABLE
