Control-D Backup missions failing with message ADR383W because many CDAM datasets have been migrated outside of Control-D.

Many CDAM datasets have been migrated by a product like HSM or CA-Disk. This causes the backup missions to fail because when DFDSS selects the CDAMs for backup, messages ADR383W are issued like:

ADR383W (001)-DTDSC(01), DATA SET AA.TESTJOB1.J12345.D0940602.S02.N000100 NOT SELECTED

This message is issued because the DFDSS backup job is not able to backup the CDAM because it is migrated. DFDSS is not able to issue a recall of the dataset.

Please note that CDAM datasets should NEVER be migrated with a product such as HSM / CA-Disk otherwise it will cause problems with the backup processes in Control-D.


There are a number of options here depending on how large the problem is (no=umor of CDAM datasets migrated).

Option 1.

1.1. Stop the process that migrates the CDAs to HSM / CA-Disk.of HSM/ CA-Disk, i.e. don’t migrate them outside of Control-D.

1.2. Create a new backup mission and update backup mission name in the decollation missions with this new one. In this case all the new CDAMs and their Indexes will be backed up correctly, since the new backup mission will not try to recall the old datasets already migrated to HSM / CA-Disk.

1.3. Unmigrate all the CDAMs and related Indexes from HSM / CA-Disk tapes to DASD.

1.4. After all the datasets will be resided on DASD (and cataloged) re-run the old backup missions to backup them.

Option 2.

This method recalling the datasets from hsm / CA-Disk first:

2.1. Update the Backup mission skeleton with the additional step which will recall the files as follow. In this case the input stream will be built in format of DFDSS:

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14       
//IN       DD *                   
 %DSNS%                            
//*                                  

In this example all datasets selected by this Backup mission will be duplicated as an input string in the IN dd card of STEP1 in format of DFDSS. For example:

//*                                                              
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14                                     
//IN       DD *                                                 
  CTD.D90.JOBNAME.J48477.D1831702.S93.N000900   ,    -   
  CTD.D90.JOBNAME.J48530.D1831720.S91.N001000        -   
//*                                                             

2.2. Then exit CTDX010 should be set to the mode where the backup job is not submitted automatically. Afterwards you can edit the job that it is created in the CTD JOB library, adjust the input stream for the first step manually and manually submit the job.

This option will work but it will require much manual work.

Option 3.

3.1. Make changes to user exit CTDX010where the exit will adjust the created job automatically and submit it automatically. This option is easier but you will need some extensive expertise in assembler develop the changes require to the CTDX010 user exit. BMC do not supply a sample for this.
