Explanation
A gap in the sequence numbers between two label
records is found in log
dddd. The records are in the correct
time sequence. That is, record
nn1, which precedes record
nn2
on the log, has an earlier time stamp. This message could mean that records
needed for recovery are missing. Some possible causes are:
- A log was skipped during archiving.
- Label records were skipped over by a selective archiving program; records
needed for recovery might also be skipped.
- The journal archive control data set (JACD)
is damaged or inaccessible, causing the wrong sequence numbers to be used
on label records.
- A log contained data other than log records.
This message is issued if command SEQCHKR
GAPINSEQUENCE(WARNING) is specified, or WARNING is specified in the sequence
checking secondary window.
System action
CICS® VR continues the recovery.
User response
- Batch–Find out why there is a gap in the label records. (Check
the contents of the log to see whether all records needed for recovery are
present.) Rerun CICS VR.
Remember
to restore the VSAM data sets from the backup copies before you rerun CICS VR.
- Online–If a log containing records needed for recovery is missing,
archive this log and rerun CICS VR.
If all logs are present, find out why there
is a gap in the label records. (Check the contents of the log to see whether
all records needed for recovery are present.)
Remember
to restore the VSAM data sets from the backup copies before you resubmit the
recovery job.
