STORGRP COLLECT schedule Function is failing with U0041, with the following error.

Error Message:
BMC90016C  DBRC PROCESSING TERMINATED DUE TO UNAVAILABLE RECON DATA SETS
BMC90004C  DBRC SIGNON PROCESS FAILED. RETURN CODE=X'0000000C' (12). INIT1
BMC90069C  ABEND ISSUED BY DBRC SUBTASK. ABEND CODE=41, REASON CODE=X'055D5A23' (90004003)

 

Root Cause
When your IMS subsystem is gened with DBRC PRESENT FOR BATCH DEFAULT” as YES then you will see x'40' or gened with DBRC PRESENT FOR BATCH DEFAULT" as FORCE then you will see x'50' in the DFSIDEF0 member of the RESLIB. IF you find x'00', it indicates that the IMS system is gened with DBRC=NO.

Please see below for an example, here x'00' indicates DBRC=NO , x'40' indicates DBRC=YES and x'50' indicates DBRC=FORCE.

DBRC=NO

When you have x'40' or x'50' specified, it is mandatory the either the RECONs or MDA library is explicitly mentioned in the batch utility JCL. In customer's case, Job STORGRP COLLECT didn't have either of them, hence resulted in the following error

BMC90016C  DBRC PROCESSING TERMINATED DUE TO UNAVAILABLE RECON DATA SETS
BMC90004C  DBRC SIGNON PROCESS FAILED. RETURN CODE=X'0000000C' (12). INIT1
BMC90069C  ABEND ISSUED BY DBRC SUBTASK. ABEND CODE=41, REASON CODE=X'055D5A23' (90004003)

Resolution - You can implement any of the following listed menthod's to correct this error.
(1) (Recommended) way is to add the MDA libraries to the STEPLIB under “JCL and Report Options”. Which you have already done to correct this situation.
(2) you can gen you IMS subsystem to specify DBRC=NO that will change the x'40' or x'50' to x'00' in the DFSIDEF0 member and recycle your IMS subsystem, followed by re-registering your RECON Dataset using "Edit or Remove this RECON" option in the Maintain Environment Menu options on the Database Advisor GUI Interface and that should help resolve this error.
