Problem 8 – Recreated Data Set on the Wrong Volume

CTT141E   0123, RECREATE ON WRONG VOLUME  VV0009

A data set was recreated on the specified volume (VV0009).

According to Control-M/Tape, this data set already existed on the volume, but the data set does not start on that volume. Control-M/Tape allows an existing data set to be overwritten only if the data set begins on the same volumes. Use the Control-M/Tape Inquire/Update screen to view the volume and data set information. For more information on conditions necessary for data set recreation, see the organization and administration chapter of the Control-M/Tape User Guide.

Assume, for this example, that volume VV0009 is the second volume of a multi-volume chain containing data set DSN.D0009. Control-M/Tape can only recreate data set DSN.D0009 starting from the first volume of the multi-volume chain. In Global Production mode, the job would abend.

Since the existing tape management system recreated this file starting on volume VV0009, the two databases are apparently not synchronized for either the data set or the volumes in the multi-volume chain.
